Event ID: 1000 Vmware tools [warning] [vmusr:hgfsd] Setting HFGS Server capability failed.
I have a vdi environment that gets this error in event log:

We do not have HGFS option on the classic image; however if I modify registry and add HGFS to this Value in ProviderOrder – error disappear

But is there a way to fix inside vm advance settings, without mod of registry?

One of the articles suggested to disable HGFS future ( that it can cause VMs disconnects)
this is not good.

Usually we do not use a Complete Install of VMware Tools, we use a Typical, and do not select this option to be installed!
It has always been an issue! (if you do a complete install).
So you can do a Remove/Modify and just uninstall this feature
