VMware error Could not open /dev/vmmon

Hi, I get this error when I wan to run my VMs on VMware.
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory. Please make sure that the kernel module 'vmmon' is loaded.

then I run this command
sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
and then I can use my VMs but after restarting my computer I should do this again.
what’s the problem?

VMware has their own support channels - please use those.

maybe run this command
sudo modprobe -a vmw_vmci vmmon
but if you rebooted then this command would not be necessary (i think)

Besten! Ging sofort nach dem command sudo vmware-config …
