And after a few minutes, I may have found the workaround/resolution.
It seems one now needs to explicitly select the Discrete GPU for the fusion application under NVIDIA Control Panel settings. Interesting change in behavior.

I also experienced this effect installing 17.2.2 to a new laptop. By trial & error & even going back to 17.0, I found that although the screen is black I could activate the File menu using Alt+F & adjust the GPU preferences (Auto/CUDA/GPU) then restart Fusion and all was visible again. Resolve installed without issue. I haven't check the laptop with the latest NVidia driver yet and I have had no problems on my PC Workstation.
Thanks for that screenshot! Another user had reported the same solution. I asked for more details so it would be easier to help people in the future, but they never replied. This option is only available to select if you have multiple graphics processors available, which I don't, so I couldn't take the screenshot myself.
