Solve: The virtual machine appears to be in use

In my VMware Workstation I couldn't  open the VM (Guest OS), it had a warning: The virtual machine appears to be in use, whereas the VM is not being used. there is an option to Take Ownership, but after clicking the Take Ownership button, VM still couldn't be opened.

warning: This virtual machine appears to be in use

Still couldn't be opened after clicking Take Ownership button

Until finally I found the solution by deleting the files with lck extension.
lck files can be found in the same folder of VM folder.
Delete all lck files.




After deleting lck files, my VM can be opened and running normally.

I am using VMware Workstation 14, it seems will work for other versions of VMware Workstation

All drivers are already installed for each device, everything is OK with this Windows 10 OS. The only problem is:  when I switch the laptop on or restarting it, after vaio logo appears then it stuck with blank screen and it takes about 2 minutes. After that, then it continues to loading Windows. After I googling about the problem, I am not only the one, other people also have the similar problem with their laptops. The cause is in the Ultra Low Power State (ULPS) system. ULPS is a feature or mode in hardware (graphics card) designed to save power by reducing energy consumption to very low levels. Now the problem is solved. If you have the same or similar problem, maybe this below step will help you too.
