Also having this issue with VMWare on Windows 10 pre and post anniversary builds. After running vminstall.exe only on shutdown does the OS column say yes.

Following instructions made it work for me in VMWare on pre-anniversary, haven't tried post yet:

1. VM: Copy kdbazis.dll and kdpatch.sys to C:\Windows\System32\drivers
   from virtualKD\target\x86 or x64.
2. VM: Run kdpatch.reg
3. VM: In an admin command prompt run:
   bcdedit /debug on
   bcdedit /dbgsettings serial
4. VM: Restart VM

I also hit the same issue with Win 10 1703.

What you need to do is disable SecureBoot. Since Newer version of vmware workstation will have this feature to support latest VBS features that microsoft has provided. So you might need to disable it from the VMWare VM Settings in Advanced.

Before (with Secure Boot ON).

After (Secure Boot OFF)

Then follow the same steps above and it works fine.
Hope it helps.
