Guest graphics messed up when Host display scaled to 100%

I have a Windows 10 Host running Workstation 9, and various guests ranging from Windows 7 and 2008 through Windows 2012 R2.  All guests behave the same - when the Display Scaling on the Host is set to 100%, I am besieged with problems like the mouse pointer is offset , applications don't maximize properly, etc.  However, when I scale to 125%, everything works great.  Other than using Unity Mode, how can I work with a guest VM when scaling is set to 100%?  The problem with 125% is it kills so much screen real estate.

Do you have to run Workstation 9?  At least you'd go with v12.x.
