It sure sounds like that driver didn't get updated - I have an install of 17.0.2 on Windows 10, and the timestamp on vmx86.sys is 9-apr-2023.
First, open a command prompt running as administrator. Then run the setup program exe file of 17.0.2 that you downloaded from VMware in the command line.
VMware-workstation-full-17.0.2-2158411.exeWhen prompted, choose the option to remove the product. :Then reboot and see if the drivers are still there. If not, then reinstall. After re-install, check the time stamp on the vmx86.sys file.
