Hi melgoth,
Thanks for reporting this and giving so much detail.
To investigate this a bit further, if you still have a vmware.log (or vmware-*.log) for the VM failing to start on Workstation Player 15.5.2, I'd like to look at that file, if that is OK with you. It will be located in the VM's directory, and the build number 15785246 will appear in the first line of the logfile. Could you possibly attach it to a reply here?
Depending on how the virtual disk was created, the file I:\VMWare\MorgothVm\MorgothVm-0disk_H-Misc_D-Data.vmdk might be either very small (less than a few kilobytes) or quite large. If it is a small file, could you please also attach that file to your reply? It might explain what is going on.
Thanks,
