II have successfully configured three VMs to auto-start upon reboot, with the VMware Autostart Service using the same account/login credentials.

When using the VMware Workstation console, all I see is a blank screen, even though the guest is running fine:

I can perform any of the commands (Restart Guest etc.) but there is still no display.

If, however, I "Shut Down Guest" then power it on, then the display returns.

Not being able to see an auto-started Guest is a big (!) issue.

Environment: Windows 11 host, Build 17.0.0.build-20800274
