I have installed VMware-workstation-full-10.0.3-1895310 on windows 8.1. Although VMware bridge protocol is enabled in my LAN adapter but still I am unable to add and switch VMNET0 to bridged mode.
I too had problems with VMNET0 not working as bridged after upgrading to Windows 10. I am currently using VMWare Workstation 12. I was able to resolve this by going to control panel, opening programs and features, right-clicking on VMWare Workstation and selecting the Repair option. After the repair was completed (yes, it showed network drivers being removed/installed) a reboot was required and all is now good. VMNET0 working properly as bridged. I hope this helps.
Export all your virtual machines to OVF. Uninstall VMWare. Install VirtualBox. Import virtual machines. This solved my problems after wasting several days and reading over 100 pages of "why bridged network does not work on VMWare".
