In all my virtual machines (VMware Workstation on Windows 10x64), Microsoft Edge renders its menu with a strange blend mode (I suspect it's "Multiply"):
I cannot read anything of that menu.
What can I do to have Microsoft Edge render its menu correctly?
Your answers are appreciated.

Hi,
The issue you're seeing is a known issue.
It has been discussed many times for the various browsers (google chrome and even Firefox).
The issue has to do with hardware rendering.
The fix is to either turn off 3D for the VM completely, but the better solution is to turn it off in MS Edge.
In order to do so, in MS Edge go to settings -> select "System and Performance" and disable "hardware acceleration".
After doing that, the problems should be resolved.
If you are not able to access settings in MS Edge, then you can also open the page "edge://settings/system" to get to the 'Hardware acceleration' settings.

Hi,
I don't work for VMware.. so I have no idea what they will address or not.
Having said that.. this has been an issue for years and years, so I would not have my hopes up on this getting addressed any day soon.
This is probably also an item where the goal is changing. Browsers will try to support the latest hardware features and VMware is chasing that as well, although much further behind due to the complexity of providing hardware accelerated virtual graphics.
