Can't launch vmware after update

[Jian Wang]

I' ve update vmware workstation pro from 17 to 25h2, then I cannot lauch vmware any more. What should I do to make it work ?

You are getting a lot of errors that smack of permission problems, followed by an access violation (00005) that crashes the program.

I don't do Windows, but I would probably:

1. Back up all VM's.
2. Try running as administrator.
3. Completely uninstall VMware.
4. Re-install. 
5. Edit: go back to 17 (I am still on 17.4)

Your UI log indicates that you're using version 14.29.30135.0 of the MSVC runtime.  Can you try upgrading it?  See this thread for instructions: https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/question/my-vmware-workstation-is-unresponsive-after-starting
