Hi,
Check Vmware Tool installed/updated on Virtual machine. To support Vmxnet3 VMware tool should be installed on the VM.

What about server Event Viewer ? Does it report some errors useful for investigation ?

maybe my answer doesn't hit purposes of this forum but: did you already checked following configuration parameters with VMware Support ?
- Virtual Hardware version: VMXNET3 is supported only for VMs version 7 or later (VMware link: Choosing a network adapter for your virtual machine); which is VH version of your VM ?
- Did you try to remove and add again VMXNET3 network adapter from VMware VM Hardware properties ?
- Which is VMware (build) version ?
- Do you upgrade VH recently? VMware link: Upgrading virtual hardware on 2008R2 causing NIC to not load
Then about Operating System:
- Which is OS version of your DC ?
- Did you also try to clean all hidden/orphaned devices:
1. From Command Prompt type: set show_nonpresent_devices = 1 (enter)
2. Then launch Device Manager: devmgmt.msc (enter)
3. From View menu tick "Show hidden devices" item
4. Now you should see orphaned devices (if exist), grayed out: remove those Network cards no more in use.
5. Try to remove and re-add VMXNET3 network adapter
Note: Try also to update VMXNET3 driver from Device Manager manually (Folder: %ProgramFiles%\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\vmxnet3)
