Hello Dave,
I checked your supplied logs and in them VMware reports each time that a VM is running on startup.
Also it looks like that each shutdown is followed by a startup along with a VM startup. The only time it didn't happen is the boot at 2022-01-30 around 16:13, but that's because you login immediately so it is picked up by the vimarunLauncher instead.
It is certainly possible that I am overlooking something. FWIW, I do not really expect vimarun to work differently when starting via WOL, sadly there's nothing in the logs right now for seeing how you started your host. So I would at least need the time of shutdown/startup in order to be able to correlate.
I'm wondering though, is it possible that it is not an actual shutdown, but a windows suspend/sleep at the host when using the power off?
That might explain what you are seeing here as then Windows doesn't close all applications and instead continues where it was on waking up.
