Why can't I find "Autofit guest" in VMWare Player 15.0.0 build-10134415 ?

When I launch my Windows Server 2016 Standard VM using VMWare Player 15.0.0 build-10134415, it does not automatically "fit to guest", which is my Windows 10 64-bit Microsoft Surface Book 2, which has a display resolution of 3240 x 2160.

I cannot find a menu or setting within VMWare Player 15.0.0 build-10134415 that permits "Autofit guest" or any of the other traditional VMWare "fit to..." settings.

I have changed the VM's local resolution to the highest setting allowed by Windows / Settings / Display Settings / Advanced Settings, which is 2048 x 1536, but that takes up only a fraction of the available display space.

Even setting VMWare Player 15.0.0 build-10134415 to "Full Screen" does not cause the underlying VM to use the full available display space.

Is what I am trying to do even possible with VMWare Player 15.0.0 build-10134415?

My environment:

Microsoft Surface Book 2

16GB RAM

1TB SSD

Intel i7 CPU

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, version 1803, OS Build 17134.345
