win 10 kmode error exception not handled what failed:vmx86.sys

I've been trying to run ubuntu 18.4.1 using VMware workstation player

but I can't because everytime I boot ubuntu from VMware the PC crashes and there's the blue screen with the following message.

Kmode  exception not handled

what failed: vmx86.sys

Have tried:

reinstalling VMware

downgrading VMware

reinstalling the ubuntu iso file.

verifier thingy

unchecked fast boot option

If anyone has the solution please answer.Thanks in advanceSmiley Happy

This is due to vmx86.sys driver, you can disable this

Hit windows key + r to bring up the run window and type “verifier” without quotes.  Click OK.

Choose “Delete existing settings and click “Finish.”

Restart your computer
