As your post is about Workstation Player and not NSX, I have reported it to the volunteer moderators asking them to move it.

Hi,

Check the following discussion if it helps.

Also, it would help if you post in correct forum for Workstation - https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation/ct-p/3019-home

You might notice that the path for this post (shown above the opening comment) has now changed, since I reported it to the moderators and they moved it.

You can also report posts if you see the same thing happening in future, go to the menu (3 vertical dots) to the right of the opening comment and choose Report Inappropriate Content.

Hi,

Have you tried rebooting the host?
