Hey @DIRIT ,
I think I see similar issues to you.
I use Windows 10 in my VM and I ma quite a heavy MS Teams user, the majority of the time the VM behaves it's self, but if I have outlook teams and chrome running, the screen begins to go on and off, it's about 500ms off then back on. It's enough to become frustrating while working. This slowly gets worse and becomes more regular, before the VM then resizes the desktop to 800x600, and then I am logged out of windows automatically!! No warning.
I've just been looking through the Event Viewer in my VM and I can see a lot of errors relating to dwm.exe
Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.19041.508, time stamp: 0xcd97c98b

Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID: DWM is desktop windows manager,: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/what-is-dwmexe-and-why-is-it-running/ and I suspect maybe it's used for rendering MS Teams and the screens being be presented some how? I don't know.
Anyway, I just did the following:
- Open Device Manager, locate display driver and remove driver and delete.
- Reboot machine
- Re-Install VMWare tools
So far things seem better, but it's early days.... I will know buy the end of the day if it has worked for me.
