"use the option to “encrypt only the files needed to support a TPM” That's exactly what I chose, and it all worked fine without any ill effects to my Windows 11. Thanks again!

FWIW: I now remember why I encrypted my Windows VMs. Windows 11 requires a (virtual) TPM (Trusted Platform Module). Fusion requires an (at least partially) encrypted VM in order to add a vTPM. So when I upgraded to Windows 11 I encrypted my VMs.

Something fun to try I guess! Thanks again.

I am experiencing the same startup error as the OP. Unfortunately in 13.5 it appears that most of the .vmx file contents are encrypted and so not editable in a text editor. I've searched the VMware KB for suggestions given the encryption but haven't found any. Do you know how to edit a 13.5 .vmx file? Thanks.
