VMWare Workstation 14.1.7 build-12989993 - VMs won't start

Hi,

I've recently got a new PC and moved my VMs from my old PC by copying the VM folder over to the new PC.

After installing VMWare on my PC, VMs won't start most of the time, even ones created on the new PC. Instead the VM will hang on a black screen and can only be closed when the system is restarted, as you can't force close the VM in task manager as it will just say the VM is busy.

System information:

New System

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - (AMD-V Enabled)

16GB RAM

Windows 10 Pro 1903 x64

VMWare Workstation 14.1.7 build-12989993

Old System:
ThinkPad X220

Intel Core i5 2520m (VT-x enabled)

8GB RAM
Windows 10 Pro 1903 x64

VMWare Workstation 14.1.7 build-12989993
