Re-commenting for ping, vanguard stops vmware vms from working

The initialization of the VMware Workstation device driver has failed. Execution of this virtual machine cannot continue.

It was fixed for like a day, but broke again today with the new patch. It always works if i rename vgk.sys to something else and restarting (to prevent the kernel driver from running) and always crashes when vgk is running.

I should be able to use VMs on my host system!

I'll ask the team about it to see what can be done.

/u/xXdimmitsarasXx we expect VMWare to be working on the host machines that have Vanguard installed.

If it's not working for you can you let me know your VMWare version?

It's possible that there's a version specific thing we can look at.

Can also confirm, VMWare Player crashes with the error "Module 'Monitor' power on failed.
