The malfunction/issue was first observed when the host machine was booted from cold and VM was initiated (from suspended state) on the morning of Tuesday 03/19/19.
There are (by my count) 3 different VMware.log files named VMware-0, VMware-1 and VMware-2. It appears the one I had uploaded originally was the VMware-0. '1' and '2' in the series may offer a different perspective, so I will upload those to this post.
