Hi there

VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vmui)

It has always worked fine.

I switched off my PC on Friday and when I switched it on this morning, i could not turn on my VM

What I've tried:

• Disabling Symantec endpoint protection
• Powering on VM whilst in Windows Safe Mode
• Moved all other files in folder into "temp" folder (so it was only the .vmx & .vmdk files)
• Removed all files (preferences & inventory) from "C:\Users\Dani.Smith\AppData\Roaming\VMware\" folder
• Check the VM folder wasn't somehow read-only
  

But nothing has worked

Please can help me with this matter

Any input is appreciated

Many Thanks

Dan

I have the log file.

2996 was no longer there, but this log file was generated with the same error

Thanks

What is your local drive K? NAS or external USB drive?

According to this snippet, "The virtual machine appears to be in use". If you are sure that she is not, then delete all LCK-files and -folders and try to restart the VM.

Hi!

I found your answer, which was written 2 years ago.

And I have a similar problem.

I attached a screen and a text file.

Thank you in advance!!!
