hello,
recently got a new laptop and it has a 4k display. I'm having problems running a lower resolution in full screen on this display. When I have another monitor connected I do not have problems running on the other monitor at its native resolution in full screen, which is 1920x1200. On my laptop display lower resolution ends up being a small centered screen when running full screen.
No configuration I have done seems to work well for me to be able to read anything on my win7 vm. I did have success with changing dpi scale to 200% but VMware tools keeps resetting it on each reboot. So I must pause my vm in order to keep these changes intact. They must be reset on each reboot. Is there a way for me to disable VMware tools from adjusting dpi? Using win10 pro as host os.
Anyone else been down this path and have any suggestions? Thanks for reading.
maybe you can specify a fixed resolution to the visual machine by these steps:1,choosing the visual machine , then press the hotkey:Ctrl+D;2,choosing the display table>specify monitor setting, then choose a resolution.
I have the same problem and spent hours today looking for a fix. No luck so far for support of a 4K screen. This appears to be a known issue based on the VMware Community Workstation forums.
