Is it worth to update from 16.2.3 to 16.2.4?

Is it worth to update from 16.2.3 to 16.2.4?

The only fix is "Workstation Pro fails to launch on Ubuntu 22.04 host operating system" and I don't have this issue

But the 16.2.3 fixed the freezing issue after a while according to users, so probably VMWare doesn't list all changes.

By extension I'd also like to know if it's now safe to go to 16.2.4 from 16.1.2 on a Windows 10 host.

I've been holding off updating to 16.2.x since so many people were reporting problems with 16.2.x whereas their 16.1.x environment had been working o.k. for them.

No version 16.2.4 is available from the download page, if it even exists. All that is available is 16.2.3.

Nope. And from the post asking about several of those items, they will NOT be fixed.

I have been using 16.2.3 since it was released with no issues, and I have updated to 16.2.4 since yesterday no issues at all.

I should not the 16.2.4 installer downgraded the "VMware VMCI Host Device" to version 9.8.16 so I had to update it again manually to 9.8.18.0
