Can you disable encryption instead of upgrade it?– RamhoundCommented May 21 at 19:41

The encryption is for the virtual TPM (which normally is required for a Windows 11 guest), and I believe using a vTPM encrypts only part of the VM (notably, not the virtual disks). See core.vmware.com/vtpm-questions-answers (which is written for vSphere, but most of it should apply to Workstation as well). As for your error, the UI log file (its location is listed in Help > About) might have additional details. Note that a new log file will be generated every time you run Workstation, so you'd want to reproduce the problem first before inspecting the log.– jamesdlinCommented May 24 at 6:56

Thanks for your comments. @Ramhound: No, it appears not.– Max WilliamsCommented May 24 at 21:26

@jamesdlin: Sadly, I just use vmWare without knowing a darned thing about it. This is the first time I've ever had a problem. I do see some problems in the vmWare log file which I will investigate further. Thanks for pointing me in this direction.– Max WilliamsCommented May 24 at 21:32

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
