VMware have – without much fanfare – released an update, 26H1u1, and details are here:    https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/desktop-hypervisors/workstation-pro/26H1/release-notes/vmware-workstation-pro-26h1u1-release-notes.html

This version – as with 26H1 – supports the latest kernel-org kernels, including 7.3-rc3..

I had found 26H1 to be rather sluggish with ‘legacy’ Windows XP Pro, so hopefully this will have been improved, although more testing is needed..
