Hi everyone.

I just purchase a license of WorkStation Player 16, and, over Windows 11, ir crashes at start. The log file is attached.

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi, do you have the wsl and hyper-v components active on windows 11?
There is the following discussion in the forum that may interest you:

Attention if I have seen well, for now, VMware workstation is not yet supported on Windows 11

You could try to browse through that long thread (>70 posts as of this writing) which has taken a life of its own. Some of the replies may or may not apply to you.

But from the vmware.log you attech

In(05) vmx IOPL_Init: Hyper-V detected by CPUID
In(05) vmx Monitor Mode: ULM

Turn off Hyper-V, follow this KB
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2146361

Make sure that Memory Integrity is also OFF.

Windows Security -> Device Security -> Core Isolation details

When Hyper-V is removed, Monitor Mode should show as CPL0 instead of ULM. CPL0 should have better performance over ULM as well.
