then I tried kali's latest weekly build 22-w18 64bit in virtual box and VMware

Did you try a 2022.1 image, without doing any dist-upgrade? If you also have the problem with it, then it's clearly a problem on your side, and not a problem with Kali.

Note: I just tried to run latest Kali with VMware, it works fine for me.

2022.1 build running without any issue, the problem starts when I upgrade packages with apt update && apt upgrade -y

Maybe it's related to https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=7684

Can you tell me what version of the package open-vm-tools is installed on your machine? The command to run is:

<pre>
dpkg -l | grep open-vm-tools
</pre>

Thanks.

I upgraded open-vm-tools, and after using it for 2 days I think the problem is solved.

Cool, thanks for your feedback. I'm closing the issue then.
