VMWare Fusion 11.0.2 Retina Display Issue which does not occur in Parallels?

Hi there,

I am a new VMWare Fusion user. I usually use Parallels.

-I have a 2018 MacBook Pro 13 inch with Touch Bar. I am running Windows 10 inside VMWare Fusion 11.0.2.

-However, there seems to be an issue with many programs if I have "Use full resolutions for retina display" checked with the default values.

-A lot of programs have the text, etc shrunk in such a way that you cannot even access various components of those programs running in Windows 10.

-I have never had this issue with Parallels running the exact same setup.

-The virtual machine has VMware tools installed correctly (I have even done a full uninstall and install ini v11.0.1).

-I am running the virtual machine in a full window.

Ideally I'd like to use the retina display settings, but I cannot given the scaling issues. In order to actually make the virtual machine useable, I have unchecked the "use full resolutions for Retina display" setting, and have manually changed the scaling in Windows 10 display settings to the recommended 100% at the non-high resolution resolution recommendation.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue, so that I can use the programs properly like Parallels with the Retina display settings?

-Thanks.
