Guests OS' don't detect battery info from host after latest Windows 10 update

Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 cannot detect the presence of a battery when you use VM in a laptop, it happened after the latest Windows 10 update, the one that brings new functions I guess it is called "may update", it shows "no battery detected" and I selected "report battery info to guest" and still nothing

Is there an update or fix for this other than disabling guest battery notification? running VMware® Workstation 16 Pro 16.1.0 build-17198959.  Host is HP Zbook running Win 10 Pro Version 1909.
