It appears #Broadcom has restored #VMWareFusion update notifications. Unfortunately there no longer is automatic updates: You have to login to the asinine Broadcom support website and download the updates and install them manually.

"We at VMware want you to know that there is a new free version of Fusion available. But to download it we're going to make you play a game of 'Outguess the Dark Pattern' to actually figure out how to do the download. It's not that our web devs are assholes, they're just incompetent."

To me Oracle was always the most customer hostile company but Broadcom has now taken over with flying colours.
For the moment I am doomed to use Vmware Fusion.
When you try to download the updated version from Broadcom’s site you get into an infinite loop of entering your details.
Solution: Go to Techspot and Download it there. One click and verify the checksums published on broadcom’s site.

I appreciate free software, but this is a damn joke, Broadcom. The newest releases of VMware Workstation and Fusion are unable to check for updates, and Broadcom says it's intentional.

#VMwareFusion You can't port forward the same port number on TCP/UDP to one VM.
I.e. 3389/TCP and 3389/UDP collide in VMware Fusion.
#Parallels Desktop supports this just fine.

#Broadcom, fix your software.

Three strikes and its out. It looks like VMware's bridged networking is just too flaky. I now have two totally different VMs where the network goes deaf after some time. I'll try to use VirtualBox although I prefer VMware.

I should mention that the problem is only on my M4 Mac mini. My venerable 2012 mini runs a VMware VM without a problem.
