That may be a simple one, but I have several VMs created under VMware. I have a couple of versions of Windows as well as some installs ofdistros of Linux. My VMware player runs under Ubuntu Linux 16.04. The problem is that when I start the VMware player, it offers the installed VMs, but this disappears when I start the first one, and I cannot seem to get it back so I can start another VM for, say, Linux. How can I solve this issue ? I have the latest version of VMware Player available for personal (free) use.

Thanks :-)

You can simply open one more VMPlayer in launcher and thus can use multiple VM machines simultaneously. I am using two VMWare Workstation 14 Player in ubuntu.
