all these steps, diddnt work for me, i have a solution without repair or reinstall.

Go to -> Services and restart "VMAuthdService" on your host.

And if you need a desktop Shortcut, use my BAT script:

@echo off
REM Batch-Datei zum Neustarten des VMware Authd Service

REM Muss mit Administratorrechten ausgeführt werden

echo Stoppe Dienst...

net stop VMAuthdService

echo Starte Dienst neu...

net start VMAuthdService

echo Fertig.

pause

IMPORTANT: Make your Bat file on your Hardisk where you want and create a shortcut on your desktop.
You need admin privilegs on your shortcut. You can set it, by right click on your shortcut, advanced settings -> run as Admin
