The only issue I had with the extensions was with Dash-to-dock, which I had to upgrade to V67 and V66 doesn't work in F31, but even though it was upgraded I had to remove the extension settings from my home folder before Gnome-tweaks would recognise that the version of Dash-to-dock that was actually installed was V67 and not V66 (Gnome-tweaks was continually saying it could load the extension, and when I went into the settings interface the settings were saying it was V66 even though V67 was actually installed and V66 had been manually removed first).
>> To test whether it was an issue with my account, I created a user account for my wife and tried that. This account was a vanilla account with no extensions and no Gnome settings configuration at all. When I booted this account into Gnome with Wayland the issue occurred. With both accounts the issue does not occur if I boot into Gnome with Xorg, and it also doesn't occur if I boot both accounts into KDE.
>> Also to test whether there was an issue with the existing vm, I created a new vm with F29 which was then upgraded to F31. The account defined in this vm was a vanilla account with no changes at all, and this account encountered the issue when booting into Gnome in Wayland. This install also provided entries in the dm for Gnome in Xorg and Gnome Classic, and boot into both of those did not show the issue.

Well, I don't think I'm going to be of much help.  I don't have a bare-metal Win10 system from which to test.

But, it does sound more like a VMPlayer video driver issue more than anything else.

I've not used VMWare products for several years now.  VirtualBox and qemu virtualization are
sufficient for my needs.
