I have tried to reinstall VMware and upgrade VMware, but it still does not work.

What version did it work on?

What version have you upgraded to?

When did the VM last power on correctly, and what might have changed since then?

Have you looked for clues in the log file which is in the folder for the VM?

It was normal before last Monday. The notebook win10 system has not been restarted, that night after the win10 system update found that vmware could not open vmx, but I do not know what win10 update content. The system update occurred in the middle of the night, and it is suspected that some error occurred when the vmvare was suddenly powered down by a laptop or when the update required a reboot to force vmware to shut down. I do not see any new log in the ubuntu.vmx VM directory, so I suspect it is not the vmx VM problem. I think the problem may be vmvare but I don't know how to find the cause, vmware version trying to update is still not working. I found in this link (https://tieba.baidu.com/p/6297008038?pid=127924357630&cid=0#127924357630) users have the same problem, but I try to not make.
