    Hi Kristina,

     

    First update your VMware tools to the last version.

    Then edit the .vmx file attached to your VM and add this at the end :

    guestInfo.svga.wddm.modeset="FALSE"
guestInfo.svga.wddm.modesetCCD="FALSE"
guestInfo.svga.wddm.modesetLegacySingle="FALSE"
guestInfo.svga.wddm.modesetLegacyMulti="FALSE"

    this will let VRMC keep the resolution you set

    Thank you m_essaid , your solution helped. I just wonder if it is enough to use just one option, as https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/53572 doesn't mention any others. So I will try to test if that changes anything, but thank you for your solution.
