Hi,

If I power on the VM and I am getting below error:

If I change the below values TRUE to FALSE VM working but I am unable to use the Internet connection. 

vmci0.present = "FALSE"

Could you please help me out to resolve this issue?

Workstation Pro has it’s own area in VMTN, this has nothing to do with a vSphere security advisory.

I have the same problem after updating to 16.2.1.  I have found no good solutions in the VMware KB or in the forums.  Have you found a solution?
