Description

### Checklist

- [X] I have searched for [similar issues](https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/issues).
- [X] For Python issues, I have tested with the [latest development wheel](http://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/getting_started.html#development-version-pip).
- [X] I have checked the [release documentation](http://www.open3d.org/docs/release/) and the [latest documentation](http://www.open3d.org/docs/latest/) (for `master` branch).

### Describe the issue

This is happening in a Windows 10 21H2 virtual machine under VMware Workstation 16 Pro with the latest VMware tools.
I've tried with Python 3.10.6 and open3D 0.16 as well as Python 3.10.9 and open3D 0.16.1+9ca1c11.

None of the examples works nor my own code. As soon as the window frame comes up the error message:

`wglCreateContextAttribs() failed, whdc=000000001F011110`

is issued on the console and the application crashes.
I've seen a few other whdc error codes like _FFFFFFFF8E01138C_ or _000000002F010E8E_

There is no problem to run open3D in an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine under VMware Workstation 16 Pro on the same host.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
open3d example geometry/point_cloud_paint
```

### Error message

wglCreateContextAttribs() failed, whdc=000000001F011110

### Expected behavior

Working open3D applications like in the Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine on the same VMware host.
