Cannot start VM: Error "Unable to connect to the MKS: Too many socket connect attempts; giving up"

I upgraded my Vmware Player installation to v14.1.2 on a 64bit Win7 Pro system.

After that I double clicked "as usual" on my Mint64.vmx file to start the Linux Mint VM.

Surprisingly this time Vmware player tells me an error:

"Unable to connect to the MKS: Too many socket connect attempts; giving up"

Whats wrong?

I am not using (on this computer) other products like vSphere or similar. Just Vmware Player

Since the VM itself worked successfully in the past the error must be in the v14.1.2 version of VmWare player.

How can I repair it?

Matt
