After upgrading to linux 5.9.1, vmware doesn't work any more. I have tried reinstalling vmware-workstation, and get this message:
(3/6) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install --no-depmod -m vmware-workstation -v 16.0.0_16894299 -k 5.9.1-arch1-1
==> depmod 5.9.1-arch1-1
==> Unable to install module vmware-workstation/16.0.0_16894299 for kernel 5.8.8-arch1-1: Missing kernel headers.
It seems that there's issue relating with the kernel.

are you booting into 5.9.1 ? try
uname -r
and if you are still booting into 5.8.8 change your bootloader accordingly

I fixed a similar issue by doing the following:
Remove current Vmware Workstation package
Download and install https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core … x-headers/
Reinstall https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-workstation/
Reboot

I got the solution from archlinux-cn telegram group.
Use
$ ls /usr/lib/modules
to see if there are redundant folders, for example, you only installed the 5.9.1 kernel but there's a directory named 5.8.8-arch1-1, simply omit it and reinstall the vmware-workstation package.
