I ran VMware Fusion 10 on macOS, and got this error when starting a VM.
Cannot connect to a valid peer process
找不到可以连接的有效对等进程
I googled, most guys says to trust developer from Preferences.app, but I’ve already trusted.
I checked process list, only:

I tried this on another working mac:

I Googled again and found https://communities.vmware.com/thread/584909 saying unload some kernel extensions might work.
I remember VMware Fusion turned not working days after I installed VirtualBox and rebooted, so I remove VirtualBox.app and unload all useless extensions:

$ sudo kextunload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetAdp $ sudo kextunload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxNetFlt $ sudo kextunload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB $ sudo kextunload -b org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv $ sudo kextunload -b net.sf.tuntaposx.tap $ sudo kextunload -b net.sf.tuntaposx.tun $ sudo kextutil -print-diagnostics "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/kexts/vmmon.kext" $ |
No error now.
