I have to try many times to start a vm

It's a delirium from 2 weeks to now ...

I run vmware workstation pro 15 as administrator as always in Windows 10 Professional ...

All services are active and running ...

I try to start a vm that ran from time and nothing happens but 'Internal error' ...

I try again and 'Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to.' ...

If I try again ... sometimes vm starts sometimes not ... sometimes after 1 try sometimes after 10/15

The relative log in C:\Users\<my user>\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-<my user> shows those interesting lines :

.......

...

All solutions that I read here in communities it's useless ...

Can someone help me ???

Thanks

Could you share your CPU information ?

See attachments..

vmware-vmx-6652.log ... when I'm able to start vm

vmware-vmx-1508.log ... when I'm not

When I'm not able to, I try one or many times.

Sometimes with no success, sometimes with success.

It happens that I tried 30 times before I'm able to start vm with success...

Any idea ???

Thanks

What is the  difference between these two booting ?

BTW, from your log, the WS version is 15.1. Could you upgrade to WS15.5(free update) and see whether it's reproducible?
