Some Ubuntu systems have limited access, sometimes VMWare workstation gives a message to allow the installation of updates, because they do not have access to install the program, enter the root password.
The first solution
preference - tab update.
Disable the following items.
check for product updates on startup
check for software components as needed

The third solution
1.uninstall the vmware workstation.
2. search all the file and directory with "vmware" keyword and delete them.
3. reboot
4. install vmware workstation.
5. modify /etc/vmware/config.ini
installerDefaults.autoSoftwareUpdateEnabled = "no "
installerDefaults.componentDownloadEnabled = "no"
Unfortunately, none of them solved the problem and after the update, the version of VMWare workstation does not change either.
