Open Console shows no video on one Virtual Server

VMware ESXI 6.5

Windows 2016 Data Center.

When I right click on the VM and select Open Console the video display is blank.

VMtools is installed and current

I use VNC Viewer and Team Viewer to access this server and both connect to the server but display no video

What is wrong here?

Is it happening for all VMs?

Port 903 is required to open VM console. Please check if its open

This is only on one (1) server.

I can run remote powershell commands on it and it is running I use Nagios to monitor the servers and no alerts from Nagios.

I just can see the console.

I checked port 903 and it is not open on this server and also checked a few others none have port 903 open.

I just restarted the server and it now has video.

Any other ideas?
