VM's not working in Fusion

Hi, I have seen this error while I try to open VM on fusion: Could not open /dev/vmmon: Broken pipe.

I did check in your database and have tried all possible solutions but those are not helping out.

Vmware Fusion version is 11.5.5

Mac version is macOS Mojave 10.14.6

I have tried uninstalling and installing it again. Uninstalling completely.

I have removed Virtual-Box and all the files

I have already checked system preference settings and I don't see anything related to fusion.

- In System preference >> Firewall >> Fusion is allowed

- In System Preference >> Privacy >> Accessibilty >> Fusion is allowed

These are other few checks :

Following command doesn't give any output :

- kextstat | grep vmware

Following command shows something related to memory allocation failure. I have 126 GB in HD and  RAM is 16GB.

sudo kextutil /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts/vmmon.kext

Error making temporary directory: 1

Memory allocation failure.

Unable to stage kext (/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts/vmmon.kext) to secure location.

I don't have these files when rebooted,

Otherwise I would imagine the solution would work, as would removing the Folder. It appears to only be populated on a running machine, which then the folders cannot be modified or deleted.

is there any other alternative fix for this? Or for getting access to these files, when the system is booted to recovery?
