VM problem after reboot

Hello, When I create a scheduled task for my virtual machines to start with Windows on reboot, the program does not open. I see an icon in the taskbar, and when I open it, VMWare Workstation opens, but the virtual machines do not appear in the tabs. They appear in the list on the left as working, but if I try to open them to work with them, I get the message "This virutal machine appears to be in use". I know how to fix it by deleting the .lck folders, but it's annoying, because it happens on every reboot.

I want that when Windows starts, the program automatically opens and the 2 virtual machines appear open in tabs as if I started them manually.

The command I use is: start vmrun -T ws start "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Virtual Machines\W10 VPN 1\W10 VPN 1.vmx" gui

Thanks!

If you disable your scheduled task, can you start the VMs as normal after a reboot? Are you certain that the VMs are shutting down correctly prior to a reboot?
