Please note my host machine only having Windows 11 Pro along with Windows related basic applications / games etc and apart from these application I have VMWare Workstation Pro installed on my host OS. Here is another screenshot of Memory Preferences from VMWare Workstation Pro FYR.

The host machine is having (NVME-M2) drive of 2TB with 2 Partitions. C (265 GB) and and D (1.55 TB)

C drive is only for OS installation and VMWare Workstation Pro has been installed on C drive. Currently C drive is having 180 GB free space out of 265 GB.

All my VMs are installed in D drive and currently D drive is having 828 GB free from 1.55 TB.

Since morning I am unable to run multiple VMs, usually I was able to execute 2 VMs at the same time and in some cases I was able to run 3 VMs at the same time, however since morning due to error I am only able to run 1 VM at 1 time. Whenever I try to run the 2nd VM I receive this below error.
