better solutions to fix rather than uninstalling the update....

Either reg fix or compatibility administrator tool

For compatibility administrator tool, only need to install 1st one on list and unselect the rest (only a 7.7Meg install)

Good time. I also upgraded to Windows 10 and after the 2019 update the VMware Workstation Pro 15 application will not run on the system. Please fix this problem. Thanks.

 

Disabling Memory Integrity is causing windows 11 to BSOD while Powering on Vmware workstation host

If the version of VMware Workstation you're trying to operate is less than 16.2.x, then it's likely that's the reason for the failures, since earlier versions of Workstation 16 aren't supported using a Windows 11 host per the following VMware support document chart.

Supported host operating systems for Workstation Pro 16.x, 17.x and Workstation Player 16.x, 17.x (80807)

Even with those newer versions of Workstation 16, I found multiple support documents on the VMware Communities relating to issues with stability for either Windows 10 or 11 as hosts. Here's an example from over a year ago.

VMWare Workstation 16 on Windows 10 Home or Window... - VMware Technology Network VMTN

Since these Microsoft Community forums are focused on Windows consumer issues that don't especially include multiple virtualization platforms, I'd recommend you post in those VMware communities instead, since everyone there is focused on those specific types of issues.
