Installing v11.1.5 worked for me for Brave browser. However, it did not work for MS Edge v95.  Still getting white pop-up boxes for credential assistant, bookmarks, etc.

update:  just noted that while bookmarks for Brave are now visible - credential pop up windows are still white-out.

Update 2:  Brave pop-up windows when hovering mouse over tabs in the browser are whited out.  I had to disable hardware tags via chrome://flags/#use-angle, before I could see those again.   Doing the same hardware change for MS Edge did not work for me.

The bug also shows up on Windows 11 Pro even with the latest VMware Tools 12.0.0

This worked, thanks.  I also noticed if disabling the 3D acceleration in settings it also resolved the issue, but I prefer having it enabled, so thanks for this workaround.

For me, this workaround works very well :

  1.  let the 3D accelerated enable in Edge (or Chrome) and just disabled the shadow
  2.  disable the shadows under windows :
