Bridged VM have problem getting IP when host is connected to WiF

Hi,

I have a Lenovo P1 Gen 3 notebook with VMware Workstation Pro installed ver #16.1.0 build-17198959

At this point, I have one virtual machine Win 10, VM is connected to Vnet0 (Bridged) both Wired and WiFi Adapter are checked in automatic selection. "Replicate state" turned on.

On the other side, there is a DHCP server (windows 2012 R2) with wired and wifi subnets configured to provide IPs. MAc of the VM reserved in both subnets. 

When the Host is connected by wire, VM gets the reserved IP from DHCP correctly but when I switch the host to WiFi, the VM remains in APIPA.

If I Bridge Vnet0 manually to a WiFi adapter, it doesn't resolve. If I manually give IP from WiFi subnet to VM, it works perfectly.

Tried to search in Google didn't found anything useful, maybe someone knows the workaround or maybe it is a limitation.

Best Regards,
