Hi there
I have installed VMware Workstation 15 on a Windows 10 Pro 19H1 host and am encountering a weird issue. When i start a VM, it doesn't boot but gets stuck on a black window. If i try to force reset it or anything like that, the UI for power controls is disabled and if i try to manually kill vmware-vmx.exe, it just won't die. I've tried with Process Hacker and with Task Manager, to no avail. The only way to kill vmware-vmx.exe is to restart my host. The host is a laptop with an i7-7700HQ, 16GBs of DDR4 RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD and a GTX 1050. I have recently upgraded my SSD from a 512GB SATA to a 512GB NVMe (Samsung 970 Evo) one, and before the upgrade i haven't noticed any issues like this. I have also downgraded to VMware Workstation 14 which also didn't fix the issue. The guest is Ubuntu 18.04, however no matter what OS i'm running in the guest, this happens regardless. Hyper-V is disabled and i don't have VirtualBox installed. This also sometimes happens when i try to shut down a guest.
