As the title says, the VMs on VMware Workstation Pro look very glitched.

A picture is attached.

I am running Windows 11 24H2, build number 26100.3194. My guests are running Windows 11 24H2 (Canary), Windows 10 1507, Lubuntu, and Ubuntu.

This started happening just yesterday.

Well, Alex....

It looks like VMWare's 3D acceleration function glitched out... 

Disable 3D acceleration function will fixed the issue, at least on my laptop.

I've also encountered similar issues, such as screen flickering, color distortion, and jagged edges when running games. It's like the picture I've captured below, where all the areas marked with arrows are flickering and have various stretched jagged edges.

Thank you, Wayne, your solution worked!

Now as to why VMware's 3D graphics glitched is another problem, but that's for another time. I'll make sure to take this into account when creating new VMs.

Thanks again!
