It sounds like there’s a vestige of the old Fusion installation involved here. Try a full manual uninstall of Fusion per KB article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1017838 and not just move the application to the trash. Make sure you get the files in both

• the system wide Library folder (/Library) and
• your user account’s “hidden” Library folder (~/Library, also known as /Users/your username/Library)

as noted in the article.

Then reboot and reinstall Fusion.

Your VMs won’t be touched. You will need your Fusion license key as the process deletes any existing installed licensing.
