Were you able to solve the problem?

I am facing the same issue since couple of days. Sometimes, killing of vm-ware workstation process followed by deleting of *.lck folders/file and a restart does help but not always.

wjwj​:

Here, the info about my setup. Any help/suggestion will be highly appreciated.

host os: Windows 10 (Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903 on 19.08.2019)

guest os: Windows Server 2016

product build: 14.1.7 build-12989993

Could you share your VMtools version and CPU information? So we can try to see whether we could reproduce it locally.
