This issue could been worked around by convert the virtual system boot disk from "NVMe" type to "SATA" type (the problem seems to be in NVMe driver...) .
Backup and edit manually the .VMX file like this:
Old:
nvme0.present = "TRUE"
nvme0:0.present = "TRUE"
nvme0:0.fileName = "Windows 10 x32 22H2-000001.vmdk"
New:
sata0:0.present = "TRUE"
sata0:0.fileName = "Windows 10 x32 22H2-000001.vmdk"
Note:
"nvme0:0.fileName" and "sata0:0.fileName" value may be different depending of your virtual disk storage file name....)
Hello,
i tested it but the following happens:
Error while opening the virtual machine: VMX file is corrupt.
Best regards Greg
I had the same issue with Win 10 19045 22H2 x86 (10.0.19045.2251) / on VMWare 16 Pro - 16.2.4 build 20089737
I created a VM Windows 8.x (that use scsi instead of nvme) and it worked
Many thanks,
