VMware not opening virtual machine

I have a new computer that I am trying to set up VMware so I can run Windows and then AutoCAD on my mint linux computer. I think the create new virtual machine worked properly. However, I am not able to open it. I get a flash of a VMware logo on a black background and the window disappears.

I am using VMware Workstation 15 Player Version 15.5.6 build-16341506

I have tried with the default 2GB RAM, 2 CPUs, and 60GB Hard Disk and 16GB RAM, 8 CPUs, and 60GB Hard Disk.

I am trying to install and run Windows 10 x64  (Home version)

My system:
