I have had the same issue (VMWare Workstation 16.2.4 - any new Centos7.9x64 VM I built just hung intermittently - very annoying after several attempts to build some new VM's. Existing VM's seemed to be fine, but they may be 16.x not 16.2.x builds. So, based on some of the info here, I tried building another one using 16.x (not 16.2) compatibility, and so far this has worked fine. All going well so far, so my recomendation is not buuld anythign new on 16.2.x compatinbility - this looks to be broken!
