VMware not working. Help.

I updated to Windows 10 a few days ago, and one of the first things I wanted to do was install VMware.
I had it previously installed on my Windows 7 and was working fine, but now I can't even get it started.

I'm using the exact same .iso as before, so there really shouldn't be any issues.

Help please.
Thanks <3

Probably have done this already but maybe a simple uninstall/install could work? You know how tech is nowadays.

Tried that.
4 times.

VMware forums don't say anything about it, so I actually don't know what to do.

Have you enabled 3D support for your VM?

You mean the setting where it says 'Accelerate 3D Graphics'?
Yea, that's turned on.

Tried with it off too, and still nothing.

As stupid as this sounds, that last time I had this error, I redownloaded the ISO and it worked lol.

Try that and let us know
1) Re-create your virtual machine
2) Download that .ISO file again.

This was the first thing I tried when the problem first came up a few days ago.
Downloading the ISO again using a mirror link to see if it's any different.

Edit: Nope. Still not working.

Do you have all necessary options enabled in BIOS?

I think so.
I'm using the exact same settings that I used before when it was actually working.

Did you try starting Player/Workstation in compatibility mode and/or with administrator rights?
Check to see if the options are enabled that you are suppose to in BIOS.
Maybe the VM itself got corrupted, I don't know.. it's never happened to me. :(

Tried both. Still no luck :(

I've gone through everything in BIOS, and it all should be fine.
Reinstalled VMware multiple times.

Maybe it's time I give up.

Can you try installing Linux Mint or any other Linux distro?

Haven't tried installing Linux.
I was trying to install Tiny7.
