Updating to latest version of VM Workstation (windows 8.1 host) broke bridged networking with a Debian 9 guest

VM Workstation version: 14.1.3 build-9474260

Debian version: Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 64-bit

Gnome version: 3.22.2

NAT networking works. Bridged does not

Bridged worked with the previous rev of VW Workstation 14

I am a beginner here, but have read I may need to use a NIC using e1000e or vmxnet3.

I have tried changing that in the VMX by changing the line to 'ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"' or 'ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e"', but neither of these worked in bridge mode

Would you please try to click "Restror Default" in the "Virtual Network Editor" to see if that recover your bridge network?
