Have you re-downloaded the VM to ensure that it was not corrupted?

Hi,

Hi, did you try another version of Kali Linux before with your setup? For example you could try the previous version, 2021.2, available at:

http://old.kali.org/SORT/kali-2021.2/kali-linux-2021-2-vmware-amd64/

That would help to understand if something change in Kali in the latest version, or if there's another issue.
