Vmware support is useless so far. Case opened for more than 2 months and not yet resolved.
If anyone had this issue and got it fixed, please help

This sounds like what I've seen before, a cosmetic issue only and is resolved in an update. Please see this to verify: Virtual machine status changes from Protected to Unprotected (2020082) | VMware KB
Thanks for the link. Our situation is slightly different.
In our case the VMs are actually unprotected.
I would still check if this is a UI issue or something more important by following the instructions on the below link. Let us know the results.
