bonnie201110141 in my case it was an upgrade from 15.5.x (presumably 15.5.6 as I had the latest version installed) to 16.0. Co-workers who upgraded from 15.5.x also had the same issue with outdated VMware Tools, however co-workers who did a fresh install had no such issues and had the latest version of VMware Tools.
Host OS = Windows 10 x64 (1909)
Anti-Virus = Emsisoft Anti-Malware (all VMware folders excluded)
The host OS install is only about 9 months old, and Win 10 1909 was installed from freshly created bootable media at the time. The partition on the drive at the time was deleted, and a new one was created and formatted before installing Windows, ensuring no leftover files. The latest version of VMware Workstation 15 available at the time was installed, and then upgraded as new versions came out.
