Hi all,
We have multiple hosts in vCenter, running different versions of ESXi, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0, as such I have multiple vSphere clients installed on Windows 10 laptop.
When I attempt to connect to a Console of a VM guest, I see a really odd 1/4 screen view. The easiest way to explain this is with a picture. It doesn't matter if the guest is Windows, or a Linux console, the issue is the same. Any ideas?
Cheers
Chris
I should also say, it makes no odds if the client is Windowed (as above) or Full Screen.
Interestingly, all is OK when I dock the laptop with 2 x 1920 x1200 resolution (24") screens with 100% text sizing. The laptop screen itself is 2560 x 1440 (14") and use 200% text sizing.
Did you ever find a fix to this issue? I have the same problem with a Surface Book.
Hi everyone,
I have the same problem and i remark what is since i had installed the windows update anniversary. i have 3 computers, 2 surface pro 4 windows 10 without aniversary update and 1 desktop windows 10 with aniversary update. I had installed vsphere client on 3, on surface pro 4 no problem on desktop the problem appear. when i update one of the two surface pro 4 with aniversary update the problem appear too.
if i don't mess the vsphere client use wmrc witch is locate in c:\%programfilex86folder%\commonfile\vmware\vmware remote console plug-in 5.5\internet\vmware-vmrc.exe i think is necessary to upgrade this version. For now if you download remote client console 9.0 you be able to view correctly the guest.
Same problem here.
I have Inspiron with 4k display - my console is only 1/4 view.
If i had connected external monitor with 1920x1080 - no problem.
installed VMware-VMRC-9.0.0-4288332 - latest version - same problem with 4k resolution
any ideas ???
I have the very same issue on my Surface Pro 4.
vSphere client is incompatible with Windows 10 High DPI scaling (and therefore Windows 8/8.1 more than likely).
It works perfectly if you turn off Scaling in the display options.
This is an issue vmware will have to address in a future version update.
My monitor is WQHD, but I was able to work around the issue when using the VMRC via command line.
I'm having the same 1/4 screen issue on my new Surface Book with a 3000x2000 display. I have not found a solution as of yet.
Same issue here. Windows 10, 4k HD displays, 1/4 window on console. Any ideas/resolutions?
Hi Swinster,
Have you installed the VMware tool on the VM ,This problem mainly occurs when VMware tool is not working on the VM . Please check.
Thanks

You can add me to the list of victims too, I have VSphere Client version 6.0.0, build "2502222", and VMWare ESXi version 6.0.0 too, this one having build number 2494585.
My client window is a Windows 7 one, as I don't see the taskbar this is blocking the usage of my virtual machine.
As far as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in 5.5\Internet Explorer\vmware-vmrc.exe" is concerned, its version is 9.0.0.34615
Best regards
Dominique
Meanwhile I've found a solution for this issue: I searched for the VSphere client shortcut, which I found in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\VMware", it's called "VMware vSphere Client".
In the properties, "Compatibility" tab, I've checked "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
This solved the issue.
Good luck.
Yes, this solves the Problem...thank u
