Workstation 14 - When starting a second guest session I get this error: "Unable to connect to the MKS: Too many socket connect attempts, giving up."

Workstation 12.5 started crashing on my Dell Win 7 Pro 64-bit laptop, could not fix the problem, decided to try V14, but now I can only run one guest at a time. When I try to start a second guest, I get this error. I have tried everything suggested in this link: Workstation 14 Player MKS: too many socket attempts

Nothing there made any difference. All my services are running.

Can the UI log and VMX log be uploaded to help investigate it?
