Just installed this update today, noticed after that I could no longer start any VMs with the error of "Not enough physical memory is available", even though 60gb were free and 47gb was allocated available to VMs. Rebooted, same issue...uninstalled the patch and everything working fine again.
Anybody else running a 8.1 host install this yet?
I have the same issue - not enough physical memory after the latest (8.1) updates... Running on 16GB RAM, 14GB available on average...
Thanks for reporting this. We'll investigate ASAP.

Having the same problem since I installed the latest update. Thanks for looking into this.
At least one workaround - uninstalling KB2995388 worked for me - VM's now run with no issues...
I also have this issue after installing the October updates.
As a workaround:
Open the config.ini file located at C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation.
Add this line:
vmmon.disableHostParameters = "TRUE"
Save & reboot your PC.
Looks like this has happened before when Windows 7 SP1 came out: VMware KB: After installing Windows 7 SP1, VMware Workstation reports the error: Not enough physical...
Yeah have the same issue...going to uninstall KB2995388 for now
Yep, we need to make Workstation compatible with certain updates to the OS itself – almost every major OS update and occasionally minor updates too.

Same issue here as well. After installed Oct 14 2014 MS patches I cannot power on any ov the virtual machines that i have. The host machine has plenty of memory and the hosted guest machine is running CentOS 6.5 with 1 GB of ram. Workstation is v 10.0.3 build-1895310
The attached file is the error message
This workaround listed by Steve78 Oct 14, 2014 12:25 PM works without any problem. Thanks
Ended up with the same problem after installing KB2995388. I did the quick fix from Steve78 (in this thread) and it worked for me.
Same issue with Workstation 9:
VMWare Workstation 9.0.4 build-1945795
Installed on:
Windows 8, 64-bit (Build 9200) 6.2.9200
32752 MB
Just applied the October 2014 Windows Updates and after rebooting Workstation 9 did not/could not see most of the available memory (I think it thought there was less that a GB available when in fact only ~2GB of the 32GB installed were in use)
Temporary fix was to roll-back the system state to the restore point Windows Update made before applying the updates.
I'm running the Technology Preview, and was getting "internal error" trying to launch VMs after yesterday's patches were installed. The config.ini change worked for me. (Note that you have to have to open the ini file as admin to modify it.)
I am also facing this issue with Windows 8.1 x64. None of my virtual machines power on saying not enough physical memory when I have 16gb.
dariusd has provided the temporary workaround by uninstall the update, here is a blog post with detailed steps if anyone need a reference.
WinServer2012R2 + Wks10 the same error, after installation of October updates.
Had the same issue, ran the installer, selected repair and was able to start VMs again.
I did the same thing last night but still had the same issue.
Tonight I installed only the Windows Defender and dictionary updates and my VMs are working...weird!
Running repair didn't work for me, neither did fully uninstalling and reinstalling, still not working.
