Virtual machines thumbnails in Finder have turned to black after updating to macOS Monterey

Hi to all,

I recently updated macOS fom Big Sur directly to Monterey 12.6.1 (the machine is a MacBook Pro 16" 2019 base model).

Fusion (version 12.2.4 Player) works well except for a trivial thing : all Finder thubmnails of virtual machines are now black (see attachment) !

Thumbnails of all other files are OK, only VM bundles show this behaviour.

The strange thing is that using "qlmanage -t" by the command line (for testing the quicklook plugin) the thumbnails are correctly generated.

I tried almost everything : boot in safe mode, clean the icons cache with "qlmanage -r cache", uninstall/reinstall Fusion, disable Finder extensions, check/repair disk permissions ... but no avail.

I know this could sound a very minor problem but is driving me crazy !

Anyone else experienced this ?

Thanks in advance
