Ubuntu 22.04 in VMWare always logs in with fixed instead of dynamic resolution

[kalpana]

After the latest Ubuntu 22.04 updates, my Ubuntu has been acting up. It is running in VMWare on a Windows 10 host.

When I boot it, the graphical login prompt shows up as always, taking the whole screen as it should, but once I log in, the solution is reduced to 800x600 with huge black borders.

I can change the resolution to be higher, but why isn't it using the screen space given by VMWare?

If I in VMWare change the window size, then Ubuntu resizes to use the full space. It seems only to be a problem on login where it wont use the allocated space.

I have tried reinstallen open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop, but it doesn't fix the issue. Always reduced resolution upon login.

Any suggestion to how I can fix this?
