VMware Workstation’s built-in update mechanism is failing after Broadcom redirected the update server URL to its support portal, causing certificate validation errors and preventing in-app updates. Users must manually obtain installers from the Broadcom portal, raising the risk of missed security patches, and no official workaround or statement has been issued yet.
