Windows 10 not running in full resolution in VMware Fusion?

Duncan Epping · Jan 12, 2017 ·

I installed Windows 10 in a Fusion VM recently and figured I would install VMware Tools. After the installation I couldn’t get it running in a proper resolution and I was actually limited to 1152×864. Very frustrating. I tried to solve it but for whatever reason the only thing that worked was:

  • Uninstall VMware Tools
  • Restart VM
  • Install VMware Tools
  • Change resolution to desired resolution

That fixed it for me, if you had the same problem but a different solution please leave a comment!
