VMNET0 is missing from virtual network editor of vmware workstation 10
Solution 1
I had this same problem also. I also run Kaspersky AV, and tried bigapple99's suggestion and unticked Kaspersky Antivirus NDIS 6 filter
. This made the NIC show up in the editor, but didn't fix the problem. I noticed I was running the editor as Administrator when it was showing up, so I tried running VMWare Workstation as Administrator too. It worked! I tried reticking the Kaspersky filter, and reopening VMWare Workstation as Administrator, and it still works :) Best of both works, I'll just Run as Administartor now.
Solution 2
I had the same problem after upgrading windows 10. "Repair" VMware workstation version fixed the problem. I'm using VMware Workstation 11.1.3.
Solution 3
It's wired in network editor the "Bridged To" showing nothing in the drop down list (at least it should show "Automatic"). Can you try to untick the Kaspersky Antivirus NDIS 6 filter in LAN property to see whether your NIC will show up in the editor?

I have installed VMware-workstation-full-10.0.3-1895310 on windows 8.1. Although VMware brige protocol is enabled in my LAN adapter but still I am unable to add and switch VMNET0 to bridged mode.
It says "Cannot change network to bridged: There are no unbridged host network adapters"
So far I have tried the following things:
- I have reinstalled it many times
- I have restore default settings of virtual network editor
- Have also checked that Vmware bridge protocol is enabled
- Have checked that whether vmnetbridge service is running or not
- have done almost everything present on forums
