I am receiving the message:
The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file
Cannot open the disk 'C:\Users\t825665\VM's\VPC\Windows 10 x64.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Module 'Disk' power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
So the virtual machine is not starting anymore, how to fix that?
On a physical computer using the VMware View access, if the screen says “Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to unlock this computer,” and the virtual desktop toolbar is visible at the top of the screen, click “Send Ctrl-Alt-Delete” on the virtual desktop toolbar instead of actually pressing those keys.
Error 1: Failed to lock the file vmx file. Power on a virtual machine with mounted disks via the vmware-mount utility. Try to turn on a virtual machine through the user interface during a snapshot operation. Try to add a virtual disk to a virtual machine that is already in use.
Uninstall VMware Workstation. Reboot the host machine and log in as a local administrator (not as a domain administrator). Reinstall VMware Workstation.
I just found the solution for this issue. I created a backup and moved the 'lck' files from my VM's directory (*.lck), removing them from the VM's directory. Then just restarted the virtual machine.
