Error viewing console after upgrading to Workstation Pro 17

After upgrading to VMware Workstation Pro 17, I'm getting the following error:

Unable to connect to the MKS: Failed to launch the MKS client: The system cannot find the file specified.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have reverted back to version 16 for now. I'm running Windows 11 Pro.

Solved: Antivirus (Cylance) was blocking "vmware-remotemks.exe" I was able to waive the file and can now view consoles.
