Workstation showing about 3/4 screen after update to 12.5.2

I am using Workstation connected to ESXi 6.  After the 12.5.2 update, whenever I connect workstation to my ESXi server - it only shows me the upper left portion of the client.  When I RDP to it, I see the full OS as normal. Not sure what is going on!  But it is pretty frustrating.  It happens with any image on the ESXi server, so it doesn't appear to be image-dependent.  I tried a Windows 2008, a Windows 7, and a FreeBSD image - all the same.

I ran a local (non-ESXi) Windows 2008 machine with no issues.

Any thoughts?

Got it fixed.  I re-loaded 12.5.2 over the top of the existing - that did not help.  So - I completely uninstalled and re-installed.  That solved the problem.

Argh!!!! I thought I had it.  It worked.  Now it doesn't work again Smiley Sad  No changes to Workstation happened.  I think I need to go back to the previous version or something.  12.5.2 doesn't seem to work properly.
