I am wondering, why VMware is not taking up this issue. Since Ubuntus 22.04 VMware had become more or less useless for me. This Issue is one of most hurting ones!
This was to complex for me, so I tried the following, all in one line: # sudo vi /usr/local/share/applications/vmware-workstation.desktop [Desktop Entry]

~ I rebooted the system and it works. After that I increased the memory of the Windows 10 Guest to 8 GB of 10 GB, activated 3D acceleration and ... it works !!!

I updated two Systems (Workstation and Laptop) from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. As VMware Workstation is not running on Ubuntu 20.04 I updated to VMware® Workstation 16 Pro 16.2.4 build-20089737. VMware Guests with Windows 10 became complete unusable. Take into account that both systems worked fine with Ubuntu 20.04 and VMWare 15! I played in a backup of Laptop to Ubuntu 20.04 and installed VMware Workstation 16.2.4 One Windows 10 Guest is on an external SSD. So I started the same guest on both systems. Result: Ubuntu 20.04 & VMware 16 is fine. Guest does not freeze Ubuntu 22.04 & WMware 16 is unusable. Guest freezes regularly and Host is on 100% for kcompactd0.
