VMware Workstation issues

Vmware workstation was working ok for me before the last update. I am able to start the application, however when I go to resume or power a virtual machine. I get the following error:

Unable to change virtual machine power state: Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken.

Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. I use VMware extensively for work (Windows 11 VM)

Are you using the AUR package? If not, do that.
