VMware Workstation 17.6.1 build-24319023 on Windows 11.
I have two Debian 12 guest VMs, both running the same version of open-vm-tools. Automatic screen resolution changes stopped worked in one of my VMs.
open-vm-tools-desktop/stable,stable-security,now 2:12.2.0-1+deb12u2 amd64 [installed]
open-vm-tools/stable,stable-security,now 2:12.2.0-1+deb12u2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
VMware Settings for both VMs are the same, however in one VM the resolution resizes based on Window size stopped working.
Both guests show open-vm-tools is running
user@debian:~$ sudo systemctl status open-vm-tools

Attempted Fixes
Uninstalled and reinstalled open-vm-tools in the Guest OS where it does not work, but it does not work.
Where can i find the difference between these two Guest OSes or that cause that automatic resolution changes stopped working?
