VMware® Workstation 17 guest FREEZES

Hi, I am using VMware® Workstation 17 Pro 17.5.0 build-22583795

Host is running
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20
DISTRIB_CODENAME=ulyana
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 20 Ulyana"

Guest is also running

DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20
DISTRIB_CODENAME=ulyana
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 20 Ulyana"

It so happens that when in the guest in a directory where there are for example .txt or .pdf files you alternatively click right and left cursor arrows several times, the guest completely freezes. The only way out is to restart the machine.

It does not happen on the Host OS
I changed keyboards, and also changes USB ports where keyboard is plugged in.
I also went back several snapshots just in case it was a distribution problem

It does not appear to happen on a windows guest.
Please help.
Thank you
Edgar
