I'm trying to start my VM (Win10) and it stops with the error below.
I get following error:
The operating system couldn't be loaded because a critical system driver is missing or contains errors.

\windows\System32\drivers\vmci.sys
error: 0xc0000221

What should I do to recover this extremely important VM (Win10)??
Any solutions you know of?
(I have googled a lot but didn't find anything that seem to related specifically to my error.)

My system:
VMware Player 16.1.1-17801498
Host: Win10
Guest: Win10

Error code: attached
