I had the same problem in vmware player free with Ubuntu 22 as host and Windows 10 as guest.
I got stucked for few days until I find this video that explain a working solution on vmware workstation. 

Until I was on free player, I adapted the solution to my case by doing the following steps (in windows should be the same):

Run Virtual Network Editor GUI, in Ubuntu (free player) you can stop the VM, open a terminal and run vmware-netcfg or in case you're using workstation version using the right menu option.

On Windows/Ubuntu workstation version:
- click on change settings (if apply)
- click restore defaults
- start the Vm

On Windows/Ubuntu free player version:
- Until the button "reset to defaults" does not exist, just delete the bridge network item and recreate it with default setting
- start the Vm

Hope it helps someone.
