[service] The VMware Authorization Service is not running

windows could not start vmware authorise service on local computer.

Error 1075 : the dependency service does not exist or has been marked as deletion

I have installed windows7 home basic so i am not geeting any - local user and group option in computer managment and i am already login as Admin though i am not able to start service manually

This question is related to service vmware

The answer is


I followed Telvin's suggestion and it worked on Windows 7:

  1. Run the VMware installer by right clicking on it and selecting "Run as Administrator"
  2. In the resulting popup menu, select "Repair installation"

I have a similar problem: I have to start manually this service once in a while. For those of you who have the same problem you can create a bat file and execute it when the service is not running (VMAuthdService service). This doesn't solve the problem, it's just a kind of workaround. The content of the file is the following:

:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM  --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"

REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
    echo Requesting administrative privileges...
    goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    exit /B

:gotAdmin
    if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ( del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" )
    pushd "%CD%"
    CD /D "%~dp0"
:--------------------------------------

net start VMAuthdService

Name the file Start Auth VmWare.bat


Error in Events:

The application (VMware Workstation, from vendor VMware, Inc.) has the following problem: To function properly, VMware Workstation must be reinstalled after you upgrade Windows.


1.Click Start and then type Run (or Windows button + R)

2.Type services.msc and click OK

3.Find all VMware services.

4.For each, click Start the service, unless the service is showing a status of Started.

  • If "Start the service" is disappear, please do these things before:

    1. Click Start and then type Run (or Windows button + R)
    2. Type msconfig and click OK
    3. In Services tab, find then check all VMware services checkboxes.
    4. Click Apply then OK.

This problem was solved for me by repairing vmware with the run installer which fixed the services correctly.


This problem was solved for me by running VMware workstation as Windows administrator. From the start menu right click on the VMware workstation, then select "Run as Administrator"


You can fix this by starting the service manually.

  1. Type services in the Windows search bar.
  2. Open Services; scroll to the VMware Authorization Service (should be close to the bottom of the page)
  3. Double-click to open the Properties page of the service.
  4. Change the startup type to Automatic and then start the service. That way, the service will be started automatically every time you log in.

Run as admin - vmware workstation will do.


Try executing vmware as administrator


I've also had this problem recently.

The solution that worked for me was to uninstall vmware, restart windows, and the reinstall vmware.


To fix this solution i followed: this

1.Click Start and then type Run

2.Type services.msc and click OK

3.Scroll down the list and locate that the VMware Authorization service.

4.Click Start the service, unless the service is showing a status of Started.
