Unexectedly, I was not prompted for a reboot afterwards. I finally resorted to uninstalling Workstation Pro (with both boxes checked, removed configuration and remove licensing). The only ramifications I've noticed so far is the Windows Logo key and its + N keystroke combinations are completely ignored while in the VM. I can start the VM, but w/o the enhanced keyboard driver.
I finally downloaded the full installer and installed on top of the existing. On the host O/S, Programs and Features, I've used "Change" and verified the enhance keyboard driver check box was selected. Just in case it's important, I also installed vCenter Standalone converter (anticipating I'll have VM's running elsewhere I'll want to move to this host). That was a bit rocky, stumbling over the need to have Microsoft C++ Redistributable installed so the installed "tried", but never completed (separate thread, now resolved). This started as the lastest download at the time (v15), and upon installation checked for updates and immediately wanted to update to 15.5.

It should be!? I've triple verified the checkbox is selected to install it (and noted the advisement that a restart of the host O/S will be required, and was prompted each time). But brand new VMWare Workstation Pro v15.5 shows in my guest VM I've created, under Settings.General, that the "VMWare enhanced keyboard driver is not installed on the host". I've searched docs and forums, followed the suggested steps, re-installed.
