They come with installing VMware Tools in the guest OS.

Please power off the VM and power on again. This will enable VM > Install VMware Tools menu.

Hello,

On the Hardware Settings of your virtual machine, go to Display and check that the Option "Use host setting for monitors" is selected, as below:

Maybe you have set the option "Specify monitor settings" instead?

Hello, I fixed the problem:

Just go to your Virtual Machine System and go into the settings there. Like the actual "display screen size" on in the linux settings or whatever youre running. It had a low resolution selected for me there. I put it on 1920x1080 and it worked
