I found information that this is a VMware issue as their out-of-tree modules are not compatible with recent kernels. The workaround that worked for me
wget https://codeload.github.com/nan0desu/vmware-host-modules/zip/refs/heads/workstation-16.2.5
tar -xzf vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.6.0.tar.gz
cd vmware-host-modules-workstation-17.6.0
make && sudo make install
best regards
