Selecting Accelerate 3D graphics bugs the program. No matter what i do afterwards, an error pops up. Observation: This error wasn't happening on previous versions (15.0.2, 15.0.3, 15.0.4).
This isn't happening in Workstation 15.1 (for me, at least), so it may be Player-specific.
I have just created a new post on the VMware Workstation Player discussion page because it's the write place of my post to be (I thought i was posting on the right discussion page.). Nevertheless, i guess people with the Pro version may experience the same problem than i.
It's happening in workstation 15.1.0 on win7 sp1 x64. to repro:

I also have the same error (using PRO Trial version) I went back to version 15.0.0 and the problem was not repeated
I have attempted again to update to version 15.1.0 and re-issue problem is in the new version rather than on a specific computer
Need ignore from This Version 15.1.0 not good software version
[EDIT]
Hi, I have the same problem and here's what I tried:
- Deactivate Optimus technology in the BIOS, so that VMware runs completely on the NVIDIA GPU
- Various versions of video drivers (manufacturer, Windows Update, DriverBooster)
- Version 15.1.0 of VMware Workstation Player & Pro...
- ... on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 (BIOS in legacy mode)
- ... on Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (BIOS in legacy and UEFI mode)
- ... on Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 LTSB x64 (BIOS in UEFI mode)
- ... on Windows 10 Pro 1809 x64 (BIOS in UEFI mode)
and none of these worked
However there is a workaround: create a new VM without changing ANY option of the display tab, then edit this VM and the display option will not return the Unknown error.
