Update VM Workstation pro 16.1 to 16.2

Windows 10 pro - latest patches - Update VM Workstation Pro 16.1 to 16.2
After the update, I could only start one VM. When I start a second VM I get the message "Failed to start the virtual machine".
The following message is in the Vmware.log file:

Why does a VM block all other VMs when starting? Up to 6 VMs were running in parallel before the update to 16.2.
I deleted all VMs on the library and tested them with three VMs. How can I solve this problem?
