VMWorkstation 15.5.7 guest Windows 10 mouse and keyboard lagging

Windows 10 Pro guest running on a Windows 10 Pro machine - 64GB ram, all SSDs.  Base system responds fine.  I'm into the process of migrating a development project into it's own VM.  Everything seemed to be fine yesterday, then....

I've run into performance issues before, but this is a new one for me.  The mouse moves fine as I navigate across the display within the VM.  There is no stutter as I've seen before.  But for some reason, I may need multiple mouse clicks to select a Window or a menu option or a file.  The lag is really weird. I might click once and move the mouse... and the click then applies to where the mouse is.  The keyboard lags as well, having a bursty response at times.

I've rebooted, re-installed VMWare Tools, etc.  All the standard stuff.

Any ideas?

I found an article from VMware regarding the mouse clicks. Could you try this and see if it corrects the issue.
