Could not create anonymous paging file for 8192

Hello Experts,

I am using VMWare Workstation Pro below is the screenshot showing the information of my current VMWare Workstation Pro setup.

Please note my host machine only having Windows 11 Pro along with Windows related basic applications / games etc and apart from these application I have VMWare Workstation Pro installed on my host OS. Here is another screenshot of Memory Preferences from VMWare Workstation Pro FYR.

The host machine is having (NVME-M2) drive of 2TB with 2 Partitions. C (265 GB) and and D (1.55 TB)

C drive is only for OS installation and VMWare Workstation Pro has been installed on C drive. Currently C drive is having 180 GB free space out of 265 GB.

All my VMs are installed in D drive and currently D drive is having 828 GB free from 1.55 TB.

Since morning I am unable to run multiple VMs, usually I was able to execute 2 VMs at the same time and in some cases I was able to run 3 VMs at the same time, however since morning due to error I am only able to run 1 VM at 1 time. Whenever I try to run the 2nd VM I receive this below error.

Really no idea what to configure and where.

Appreciate your support in resolving the issue.

Update

Current virtual memory settings are shown below

After posting the original message whole day my host machine was like dying. Memory was going to 99%. Now suddenly I received this error and the machine got hanged. I tried my best however ended restarting (switched off and on again)

I have also added support data.

Please VMWare support team kindly help to resolve this issue.

Thanks
