How to get the highest resolution of an Intel UHD 620 Graphics card on a hypervisor vmware workstation 15 player. Currently I only get the resolution of 1024 * 576 and I want to get 1920 * 1080. Is there any solution for this?

Try
sudo xrandr -s 1920x1080

Also make sure you have the os-cloudguest-vmware bundle installed so that open-vm-tools are running. You may need to adjust the virtual video adapter settings of the VM too.

Thank you very much, I was able to solve the problem both with the command sudo xrandr -s 1920x1080 and with the vm tools:

sudo cvt 1920 1080
sudo xrandr --newmode “1920x1080_60.00” 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync + vsync
sudo xrandr --addmode Virtual1 “1920x1080_60.00”
sudo xrandr --size 1920x1080
