Glitch Workstation 15.1.0 - Win10-on-Win10 - Nvidia GTX 1060 - faint unreadable text

It happens in any browser that I have tried. Chrome, Edge, Brave, Pale Moon, Vivaldi and you name it. It happens in text-fields auto-fill as well. Text, buttons and such are to faint and unreadable a lot of the times. Even in Windows 10's popup messages this happens.

I put together a new computer with:

AMD Zen2 third gen. 3700x

Samsung Evo Plus 970

G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 RGB 32GB 3200Mhz

I am providing every guest-OS 6 Gigabytes of virtual RAM,

and 65 Gig of storage

VMware Tools is installed in all my guest-OS's

I believe this is a graphics glitch in the VMware Tools drivers, what do you think?

This bug is still present in Workstation 16.2.0 Pro and VMware tools 11.3.5-18557794

It is not present when installing/downgrading to VMware tools 11.1.5-16724464.

Please note! It is NOT a solution to disable hardware graphics acceleration in chrome because I want and need hardware graphics acceleration.

And the bug shows up in standalone clients like nextcloud client for windows, which seems to be based on the chromium rendering engine.
