17.6.1 Workstation lower FPS in played video MKV/MP4 in DAUM PotPlayer on Windows 10/11 Pro guest

    Hi,
    after upgrading VMWS to the latest version I get rapidly lower FPS (https://postimg.cc/gallery/J8ZpTV6) in the latest PotPlayer x64. (I also tried old versions)
    But KMPlayer works fine.

    Technical details:
    - host and guest are both Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
    - my VMX config file: https://pastebin.com/mc7DJkrE

    Host and guest are both Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

    But videos played in KMPlayer are fine.

    My tests:

    I first used the previous Tools v12.4.5, then updated and tested the latest v12.5.0. No difference.

    Before that I used VMware Workstation Pro v17.5.2. PotPlayer worked fine, 100% fine.

    I get the same situation - low FPS in PotPlayer on another Windows 10 Pro and also Windows 11 Pro guest.

    So I assume there is a bug or something in the latest VMware Workstation Pro v17.6.1.

    (BTW. Previous version 17.6.0 does not even start my guest. So, I reverted back to 17.5.2.)
