VM error: Unable to open kernel device "\. \ vmcidev \ vmx": overlapping I/O operation in progress

 

Today, the VM suddenly appears:

Unable to open kernel device "\. \ vmcidev \ vmx": overlapping I/O operations in progress. Did you reboot after installing vmware workstation?

This error occurs because the VM cannot be started. I searched for the solution at night and shared it with you below:

Solution 1: (The test is feasible)

Edit and modify the. vmx file corresponding to the virtual machine.

Find this line: vmci0.present = "true"

Change true to false.

Or directly Delete this line.

Save the. vmx file of this virtual machine.

Run the VM again. OK.

Solution 2: (this change is ineffective. I don't know if it is my personal reason)

On the VM software interface, edit virtual machine settings.

Choose Virtual Machine Settings> Options> client isolation> VM communication interface (VMCI)

Remove the VMCI enabled hooks.

Click OK to save.

Run the VM again. OK.
