Transport (VMDB) error-14: Pipe connection has been broken

[chrilarc]

Hello,

After migrating my MacBook from Catalina to Monterey, I can not open my VMs anymore: Transport (VMDB) error-14: Pipe connection has been broken

- MacBook Pro 16 Intel - Monterey 12.2.1

- VMWare Fusion 12.2.1

 

I tried the following methods stated in the other posts regarding this error and nothing worked.

- sudo kextutil /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts/vmmon.kext

- go into system preferences, battery, and disable “Automatic Graphics Switching”

- manually edit the .vmx file, modifying the option mks.forceDiscreteGPU="TRUE" to mks.forceDiscreteGPU="FALSE"

- disable 3D accelerator

 

Thank you for your help.

Try: Drag Fusion to the trash.  Empty trash.  Reboot.  Empty Trash.  Reinstall fusion using an administrator account.
