I am getting the following error when running vmware workstation.

Warning: the system was unable to load a page of memory; this can be caused
by network problems or a failing hard disk drive.
VMware Player unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
Exception 0xc0000006 (disk error while paging) has occurred.

When my vmware stops, it uses a pause to suspend the system, which is similar to hibernating a windows system, so that all the current operations can be saved, and when it starts up again, it can go directly into operation, but today the startup error.
Then I went online and found that renaming or simply deleting the vmss file in the directory of the installed virtual machine system and reopening the virtual system would do the trick.
