Error while powering on internal error vmware player

Today I faced a issue while using VMware player, I was trying to access my newly created vm but when I was trying to run it, it was giving me an error:

"Error while powering on internal error"

I tried lot of troubleshooting like creating new vm, re-creation of vm, reinstallation of VMware player. But nothing worked.

Then I found a KB on VMware site, the VMware Authorization Service is not running.

To check if service is running or not:
  1. You should be a member of Administrator group.
  2. Click Start and then type Run.
  3. Type services.msc and click OK.
  4. Locate the VMware Authorization service.
  5. Click Start the service.
So if this service is not running please run it, it will solve your problem.
