Am currently using lastest version of Workstation (17.5.2). On my Win 11 machine after the last few upgrades, I keep getting the following message: "The virtual machine is encrypted using old encryption algorithm. You can upgrade VM to latest encryption mode. ..."
When I try to upgrade, I get the following error message: "Failed to reencrypt virtual machine. Please restart VMware Workstation and try again later."
I am not required to enter a password (and frankly didn't know I had an encrypted machine). I don't want a password either. This Win 11 VM works fine if I decline to upgrade the encryption.
I'd like to continue using this machine, but wonder if it will eventually cause me problems. If so, I would rather build a new virtual machine so I don't lose all my work on this machine.
Should I continue using this VM using the old encryption algorithm?
