VMware utility and search issues appear for users who have installed patch KB4517211 on Windows 10

In mid-September, an unpleasant news related to Microsoft updates hit the front pages The patch released by the company for Windows 10 under the number caused problems with start menu searches. A patch that arrived to solve another previous problem.

"

And now, the situation is repeating itself with another patch released by Microsoft, although the advantage now is that it is a optional upgrade. This is the patch with the number KB4517211 that Microsoft has released for computers that have Windows 10 May 2019 Update.A patch that is causing problems with Start Menu searches with the VMware virtualization program."

Search fails again

"

If the KB4515384 patch released to correct CPU problems already caused complaints from users when it detected that it was causing a critical error that affects searches performed from the Start Menu. This bug already has a history: It was detected with Windows 10 cumulative update KB4515384."

And history is repeating itself, because now there are those affected in the forums who complain that after installing the KB4517211 patch and doing a search, they received a response from a page on blank instead of desired results.

In fact, some users claim that they had no choice but to uninstall the update to get their computers working properly again. It is the most drastic solution but also the most effective.

Problems with WMware

"

But the problems do not end here, because those who have ventured installing this patch also warn that it is causing problems with the WMware virtualization system, so that when starting VMWare Workstation Pro, they receive a warning with the following text: VMware Workstation Pro cannot run on Windows: Check for an updated version of this application that will run on Windows."

For now, Microsoft has not echoed this error, but we must remember that in the previous case, at the beginning They denied the ruling until they finally accepted it. We await some official communication either on possible solutions or confirming the existence of said failure.

"

If you are experiencing this error, your best chance right now is to uninstall this update to reverse the situation.For this it is necessary to go to the route Settings, Update and security and within it Click on View update history The next step is to use the option Uninstall updates by checking the update KB4517211 and then clicking the button Uninstall"
