Fusion Pro 11.5.3 (15870345) - Win 10 Pro guest not starting probably after major update

macOS Catalina 10.15.3 / Win 10 Pro / Fusion Pro 11.5.3 on MacBook Pro 2018

I think the support for the Windows 10 release already ended but several attempts to upgrade (I tihink it´s called "functional update") failed so that I hadn´t focussed this topic for a couple of months now. A few days ago there was another automatic attempt to update the windows release but it failed again.

I´m quite sure that I was able to proceed working with the VM afterwards but something must has happened later maybe during or due to a standy of my Macbook (and the VM).

Current situation is: startup with short Win 10 Intro ends up in black screen with blue donut :disappointed_face: I can ping the VM but unfortunately RDP is not enabled so that I have no access to check if this is an issue in regard to a wrong graphic driver or the VM ware tools which are  suddenly missing  (and corresponding to some infos I found when searching the web for possible solutions). All repair options (Shift + F8) are leading to errors.

Does anybody have an idea for me how to fix this?
