What is the host operating system (the operating system that you running Workstation on)? I assume that since it's asking for "vmx86.sys" that it's running on some version of Windows?

Are your virtual machines powered off, or suspended?

Did you upgrade this Workstation Player from earlier versions?

Have you tried uninstalling Workstation Player, rebooting, then reinstalling Workstation 17.0.2 from a fresh copy downloaded from VMware?
