I had a similar problem and found the solution. I had created a VM with vmware player trial on windows 10 and it worked. I purchased workstation pro and installed. When I ran the same VM with workstation, there was no network connectivity at all. I had network access if I changed to NAT, but not as bridged. However, I need bridge.
Thanks to GreckiSASI was able to find the solution.
-- Be sure your vm is stopped.
--Run the VMWare Virtual Network Editor
(click start and search for Virtual Network Editor)
-- Run it as administrator (or click the button at the bottom of the screen that says, "change settings." VMNet0 will dislpay when running as administrator. Otherwise, it will not be visible)
-- Highlight VMNet0 and click on "Automatic Settings"
-- You will see a list of adapters. De-select all but the physical network card. (When I set up up with player, I had selected only the 1. After install of workstation, all of the items were checked.)
-- Click "OK"
-- Click "Ok"
-- Start the VM and test.
