10.0.1 Froze so upgraded to 10.1.6 and black screen. Now what?

I have no idea what I'm doing. I've had versions VMWare Fusion for about 8 years but I really don't have the knowledge about how to troubleshoot these things.

I upgraded to 10.1.6 today and the screen is now black. I don't know if I have to reload Windows 10 and all the applications I use on it or if it is a matter of searching for a Virtual Machine or something else. 

Please help

Thank you

Hi,

Shut down the VM.

Then disable 3D in Settings -> Display -> uncheck "Accelerate 3D graphics"

Then try again.


If that still doesn't help, try to reinstall VMware Tools.

Normally you should not need to reinstall Windows
