    maybe this is related to https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Windows-Server-2022-21H2-after-trying-to-install-2022-07/m-p/2940024#M178747

    the "1 vcpu" workaround did not work for me (i7-12700 cpu, even disabling e-cores did not help). but after upgrading to Workstation 17 Player, the update suceeded and everything is back to normal.

    I was having the same issue. Another resolution which appears to have worked for me was removing the Windows Subsystem for Linux, per VMWare KB Article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/90134

    Followed this post on removing: https://pureinfotech.com/uninstall-wsl2-windows-10/

    This is a viable workaround for me for the time being, I was just WSL to mess around and didn't really need it for my work currently.

    Hope this helps. -Jacob
