Vsphere Client 5.1 solved the problem. Now I can able to see the virtual machines.
Considering the issue is related to Vsphere client, it is recommended that you go to VMware Support for help:

I’m having the same issue. I’ve tried installing in compatibility mode as administrator, and executing as such as well. No luck so far.
I have the same issues. Seems to be a common Windows 8 & vSphere issue. Posts all over VMware sites too.
No solution form VMware yet. 🙁

I think I am going back to my WIN7 until there is a greater acceptance.
Bump — anyone found a fix yet?
Not yet, although the link provided by PWILEY above does yield some additional information, specifically this event log entry:
Application ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMware\VMware VMRC
Plug-in\Internet Explorer\vmware-vmrc.exe’ (pid 1408) cannot be restarted —
Application SID does not match Conductor SID.
Joe (from the link) surmised that the vmrc plug-in is simply incompatible with IE10. He even went as far as trying to force the plug-in to utilize another browser, but this failed as well. Again, if we, the IT community, were provided some additional information, we might be able to come up with a work-around that does not involve using VMware Workstation (that is my current work-around of choice) or some other less-than-straight-forward solution.

vSphere Client error «The VMRC console has disconnected attempting to reconnect»
has anyone seen the error «The VMRC console has disconnected attempting to reconnect.» when using vSphere 5.0, and know how to correct it?
I have lost connection to my host, then when I re-login with vSphere everything seems fine, except I cannot view the console on any VM. obviously not fine.
Killing those processes didn’t work for me.
I had to install an updated version of vSphere Client, to be more specific, the 5.0.0-913577 build.
It’s been a while since I had the time to look at this, but found out that is was because of folder redirection. Still working on getting it to work with folder redirection, but for the time being I will have to disable it for my user.
Check for the vmware-vmrc.exe processes and kill them. Sometimes they don’t close properly, even when the client is closed.

I would try this first, and if you are still having issues, let us know!
Thanks and nice suggestion Michael!

Thanka Heitor, That worked for me!

I tried everything here and elsewhere to no avail.
Eventually I found that removing Hyper-V role (W2K8 R2) fixed the problem.

Thanks Heitor! Broke my client after installing Visual Studio Pro 2015. Nothing else worked. Uninstalled the client that came from my vCenter server and installed the 5.0.0-913577 build and life is good.
Recently had this issue on Windows 8. Installing the build mentioned fixed it.
stop vmrc.exe using task maager, uninstall existing client, Download latest v5.0 client 5.0.0-1300600.exe, work fine now
Thanks, that fixed it for me too. There was a later update for me to try by this time though, so I’ve installed 5.0.0-1300600 and now it is working again.

BravesBm Where did you download the 5.0.0-1300600?
I am suffering this problem in win10 as well, tried to download the sphere client 5.0 mentioned in this thread but it disallowed me to download. Anyone can post a link for downloading? Big thanks.

Hi there!
I thought I’d let you know you’ve just made my day 🙂
I’ve been through hundreds of posts related to the damn «vmrc disconnected» issue for ages and, once in a while, I take sometime to find out if someone found a solution.
Should anyone else need to update, the link for the whole set of versions available is
