I am interested in whether this is an isolated case or affects more users. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>German blog reader Ekkehard F. contacted me by email yesterday and pointed out the issue. He is using VMware Workstation 14 Player on a Windows 7 without ESU license. In addition he writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>my Windows 7 machine (without ESU or 0patch) wants to install an update from VMware declared as \"Important\", which is from July 2019. However, it is newly offered with date 05 January 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Here, only VMware Workstation 14 Player (freeware) is installed in the current version 14.1.8 build-14921873<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The reader has sent the following screenshot &#8211; just click on the image to enlarge.
