Application - VMWare Workstation 12 Player
Version - Build Number: 5813279 (latest version)
A couple of days ago, Windows 10 installed the Fall Creators Update on my PC. Since then VMWare Player throws an error every time I attempt to Power On the VM.
Here's the error:
Could not get snapshot information: Insufficient permission to access the file.
Module 'Snapshot' power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Here's what's in the vmware.log.

I've given the all users administrative ("Full Control" ) rights to the C:\Users\VM1234\Documents\Virtual Machine folder. I even copied the virtual machine folder to a root folder - same error.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
