VMWare VMs Black Screen - Windows 10 3D Accelerator - Graphic Properties not available

I am running Windows 10 Build 1803 build Citrix Desktops. I am trying to change the properties of the Windows 10 box so that I can turn off 3D Graphic properties as VMs are all in black screen mode. So, based on the suggestions by most of them, it looks
like we have to turn off the 3D Hardware acceleration. When I right click on the desktop, I get only Display Settings and Personalize option and if I go into Display settings, i do not get to see the options for 3D graphic acceleration as mentioned in the
below steps As, I do not see Graphic properties at all.

So, how can I turn it off or what else can be done as these are Citrix Desktops that are showing black screen. So, either you have to boot them serveral times or shut down and bring it up and sometimes they come up to the logon screen and show the windows
screen or else they are black screen. Clicking on CTRL+ALT+DEL also has issues sometime it brings up the logon window or else none. Just plain black screen.

In order to disable 3D hardware acceleration, I suggest you to follow the steps below.

1. Right click on the desktop and select Graphics properties.
2. Select Basic Mode and hit OK.
3. Go to the 3D option.
4. You can disable 3D graphics acceleration from this screen.

Hope this helps. Please reply for further queries on this.

 

Folder properties lists more files than actually in folder

If you say so.

Now please do this:

• Create a shortcut for cmd.exe on your desktop.
• Right-click it, then left-click Run as administrator. You will get a black frame.
• Type these commands and press Enter after each:
  
  cd /d "D:\Users\Chaos Black\Chaos Black"
  
  dir /a-d /s /b /p music
• Check the total number of files. Does it agree with the number shown in the folder properties? If so, did the command display file names you did not see before?
