After upgrade Workstation Pro from 16.1.0 to 16.1.2 I can't select options in CENTOS

I upgraded to 16.1.2 and now every installation works as "unattended" by default - I cannot make ANY selections - things like time zone or type of installation are no longer accessible - installer chooses some defaults and immediately starts the installation process.
Is there a way to fix it - or do I need to reinstall the original version?   

Edit:   
I think I found workaround.   
On "Ready to Create Virtual Machine" wizard uncheck "Power on the virtual machine after creation".   
Then before you power on and start installer - go to settings for CD/DVD - you will see TWO - first one lists "autoinst.iso" - which I believe is the root of the problem. Change it to point to your Centos ISO file (e.g. CentOS-8.3.2011-x86_64-dvd1.iso) then Remove the "CD/DVD 2" option and power on. 
At this point installer should proceed as usual and no skip screens.
