And also modifying in grub didn't work at all.All I Remember I Upgrading It, Then It Suddenly asked where to install grub There were Two options I Think it was '/dev/sda' and '/dev/sda1' (IF I AM NOT WRONG) I choose the sda1 option then it asked me "Do You Really Want To Skip Without Installing Grub" The cursor was on NO I Changed It To Yes I Thought I Don't Really need a Grub as There is only one Operating System Then I saw the grub while rebooting it and the Plymouth (This time booting really fast) but stuck with this screen so i started changing grub (Because only I remember is changing that and an 'apt autoremove') and now i got a dark blue standard Debian grub (I thought reinstalling grub would be helpful) but still negative results. I have Intel Virtualization turned on in bios. Still I Can't understand the Problem Please Help !!!...I tried changing the /etc/default/grub file still negative.Is there anyone who can help me. I can't just reinstall it.All I Remember is upgrading (apt full-upgrade) my Kali which is in VMwareAlso tried changing ram in VM Settings.

I have some suggestions that have worked for me before:

(1) Shut the machine down.

(2) VM settings: There is a VMware settings function in the VMware app Menu (settings are kept in the .VMX file).

(a) Memory: Make sure that memory is 3GB. Keep CPU to 1 CPU with 2 cores.

(b) Display: Turn off Accelerate 3D Graphics and make sure 1 monitor. (try this setting both ways)

(3) Start up the machine and test.
