macOS Ventura 13.4 appears to break VMware Fusion

I just upgraded to macOS Ventura 13.4 released earlier today. VMware Fusion no longer functions. The outline of the library window appears but VMware then stops responding and has to be force quit. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling according to the instructions in the Knowledge Base but it still hangs on launch.

I attached the latest log from my last launch attempt.

Yah no issues here, at least on the first system I tested (M1 MBA)... I did see the shadow-outline with no view inside it, but it refreshed in maybe a second to the normal Library UI.

I'm on an M2 Pro Mac mini. I left it along for a long time and it never refreshed.

After I reinstalled, it hung when I clicked on "Done" after entering my license.

I've tried in Safe Mode with no difference.

For whatever it's worth and not saying that a problem doesn't exist - but for some reason I'm not seeing it.

Just upgraded on my M1 Mac mini (2020) from 13.3.1(a) and I'm not seeing these issues.

I left the room for about 10 minutes to order dinner. When I came back, Fusion was up and running. So, I quit and it came right back up.

To quote Emily Latella, "Never mind..."
