Unable to open or view virtual machine console [Workstation Pro 15.5.6 on Windows 10 1909]

I have imported a number of virtual machines created on an older version of Workstation. I am able to power up and power down the virtual machine but I am not able to open the console.

I can see the console in the thumbnail view but I can't interact with it, even if I grab input.

How do I open a proper interactive console session?

After watching these videos I realize that I am also not able to open a virtual machine in a separate tab. I don't know if this is related.
