I was having the same exact problem with my Windows 8.1 VM. If you click the location where the buttons should be, it still works like they are there. Someone else mentioned it was an issue with the version of VMware Tools installed on the VM. I opened Device Manager on the VM and then uninstalled the VMware Display Adaptor, including the software for the driver. After doing that, I scanned for hardware changes and it reinstalled the display adaptor using a windows driver.
