  1. Hey I've been having this problem...what do you mean recreate your Windows User Profile?

    I use the client to connect to school VMs so I'm not super advanced.

    Thanks!

    1. Hello, Thanks for writing in..

      First thing first, Re-installing vSphere Client works well in almost cases but if that did not worked for you, you may proceed with approach-2 of recreating windows profile.

      Please refer the below KB for step by step instructions to re-create your windows user profile..

    3. Hey, one more thing (very important to note): make sure you have copied/backup your profile folder to some other folder location or drive before deleting your profile from windows.
