As this issue is just annoying I am not scheduling an outage for the VM’s to make the change, but only when I have VM’s that I can take a quick outage on. This can be done a couple of ways but I whipped up a quick PowerCLI script to change the vmx file quickly when I have one off for regular maintenance. You need to modify the vmx file of the VM when it is powered off. When you choose Fit Guest to Window, VMware Workstation adjusts the display settings of your Windows guest. This results in changing the screen resolution of the guest. Fitting a Windows Guest Operating Systems Display to the VMware Workstation Window If your Windows guest operating system is set to a display resolution larger or smaller than the size of the virtual machine window, you can make it fit exactly by choosing View > Fit Guest to Window. type in VMwareResolutionSet.exe 0 1, 0 0 3000 1000 (you may replace the value 30 to a value less than the sum of your 2 displays/monitors resolution), press enter. When opening or resizing VMRC of any versions or Web Console of Web Client 6.5, the screen resolution of Windows Guest OS changes to fit the window size of the client if the guest OS is Windows. type in cd C:Program FilesVMwareVMware Tools, press enter. The symptoms fitted exactly what I was seeing and tested:

I noticed this seemed to be happening since we upgraded to vCenter 6.5 so after some Googling I found the VMware KB article: The problem Im having is that the resolution is very bad when I use to this Win 10 in my VM.
#VMWARE REMOTE CONSOLE WINDOWS 10 RESOLUTION PRO#
I recently installed VMware Fusion Pro in that and created a new VM and installed Windows 10 64Bit. It turned out people were using the Virtual Machine Remote Console or Web Console from vCenter to access the VM’s console and it was changing the resolution of the VM’s operating system to whatever the size of the web browser window was set to.Īnnoying more than anything but after a couple of times finding someone with a HD monitor in portrait resolution setting the VM to 1080x1920 I decided to see what was going on and stop it. I have a 15 inch mid 2015 MacBook Pro Retina with El Captian on it. I set the VM’s at 1280x800 but was seeing resolutions all over the place.
#VMWARE REMOTE CONSOLE WINDOWS 10 RESOLUTION INSTALL#
After this, the install should continue smoothly.Recently I noticed that when logging into VM’s at the console level through vCenter the resolution was all messed up. Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the VMRC installer, type in (and tab-complete) the name of the installation package, and press enter. The way that works on the other hand that I’ve found, is to open up an elevated PowerShell prompt and call the installer from there. However, I’ve not managed to get this to work on any machine I’ve tried it on. The normal way to do this would be to right-click the installer and select “Run as Administrator”. The workaround is quite simple, give it the required permissions from the get-go, so that it can bypass UAC altogether.
#VMWARE REMOTE CONSOLE WINDOWS 10 RESOLUTION DRIVER#
This is usually because the VMRC installer fails to play nicely with UAC in Windows, and for some reason doesn’t manage to get the required permissions from the OS to install the hcmon driver (which seems to be a virtual USB something that you’ll probably never need anyway). The error VMRC throws is quite cryptic as well “Failed to install hcmon driver”. There’s only one problem, the install frequently fails on Windows 10. The clients using the remote console are different Windows and Linux versions, but I think that does not matter since the resolution change is done by the vmware tools. This is a welcome development, as moving away from NPAPI can’t come a day too soon, and anything that isn’t Flash based is always nice. In vSphere 6.5 and some simultaneous updates to earlier versions, VMware moved away from NPAPI (since Google is set on killing it) and instead introduced two new consoles, the HTML5 browser console which is quite frankly horrible (especially without VMTools), as well as a new “thick” console that installs on the client machine called VMware Remote Console. Normally you would press Ctrl-Alt to release the mouse, but unfortunately. I ran into a problem where the vSphere client would 'capture' my mouse/keyboard in the console session. From this VM I frequently create an RDP session on a customer server then run the vSphere client to connect to the console of multiple VM's.
