Hi,
Sorry to hear about your problems, I have no idea what is happening. I did see one other report a similar issue (aside from the reply here).
Rebuilding the VM's should not be needed, normally a downgrade back to Workstation 16.1.x should be sufficient. Note however that it is likely that Workstation 16.2 has done a virtual hardware upgrade on your VM's. If that's the case then you need to downgrade the virtual hardware of your VM's before uninstalling and going back to Workstation 16.1.
You can change the virtual hardware as follows:
- select the VM
- in the list of VMs on the left, right click on your VM, select "Manage" -> Change Hardware Compatibility -> Next
- make sure that the compatibility is set to "Workstation 16.x" and not "Workstation Beta"
- click Next
- Select "Alter this virtual machine"
- Finish
Repeat those steps for all your virtual machines.
Then uninstall Workstation 16.2, reboot, install Workstation 16.1 again.
The VM's should now work.
If they do not work, then please attach the vmware.log from a VM you tried to start, but failed.
