VMware and dual desktop guest

Hello!

I have 3 desktop computer.

I want to create Windows 10 Pro guest with 2 desktops.

I tried to create Windows 10.1903 Pro x64 and in display options I selected:

3D graphics

- accelerate graphics on

Monitors

- specified number of monitors 2

- maximum resolution 2560x1600

Graphics memory 2 GB

Scaling

- adjust UI size in VM on

Each guest start shows only single desktop and in screen options is not possible to detect 2nd monitor.

It looks that maximum resolution needs to be equal or smaller than host or needs driver - but where to find it?

Please help me anybody.

Thank you in advance.

Have you installed the VMware Tools in the guest?

They are installed. Even I updated it.

But at update found problem - SVGA driver was not installed automatically correctly - must to be installed manually.

So, I was browsing Additions DVD and found no one.

Then I tried to look into Device manager - VGA adapter is working correctly, but only one monitor is there.

Really don't know where is problem.
