same here. The only proper solution is to uninstall 17.5 and download "VMware-workstation-full-17.0.0-20800274.exe" from VM site ... it is still available there.
I wonder why VMWare release the 17.5 build when the high-cpu-usage bug of vmnat.exe is known from prerelease version, as Jen2 mentioned. It is rather weird in case of such software company as VMWare is.
Best regards
Tomas

I would not recommend to revert unless you don't care of security! There are lots of CVE fixes.
The best way IMHO id you care about security is to replace only the vmnat.exe with old version I attached in post 2
