Hi,
This morning my Windows VM refused to power up. I updated the Windows OS last night (usual Windows update of virus defs etc) and after a while stopped working and froze the snapshot.
This morning it won't power on. Or my Linux OS. Both give similar messages:
Failed to power on '/Volumes/VM-3/Windows 10 x64 2.vmwarevm/Windows 10 x64 2.vmx'
I see there is a lock folder in the snapshot image: 'Windows 10 x64 2.vmx.lck' . There is no vmware.log from today, only last nights shutdown log, which appears normal.
Where do I go from here?
Right... try the troubleshooting steps from this post, probably not the ones on the first page, but once Zhaokaiy joins the discussion things get interesting.

Thanks @wila , I actually read through that thread earlier today too and tried all of those options as well. I'll post there and hope Zhaokaiy replies to my question. Getting into a time crunch here for some work I need to complete in the VM's. Hopefully he can help resolve this issue.
