During shutdown the following error and pink screen is displayed.
#PF Exception 14 in world 524388:HELPER_MISC_IP 0xfff80806ledea83 addr 0x626c0058
Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this shutdown issue. This is a new installation on a desktop PC to be used as a small ESXi unit with a couple of VMs. All works fine other than the error during shutdown. I would like to tidy up the shutdown process to ensure the machine shuts down correctly.

You probably know that ESXi isn't designed for desktop PCs, you check check for supported systems, CPUs, and IO devices here: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
You could also follow the steps in this KB article: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2071752
Oh, and your post needs moving to another area of the Communities, so I have reported it.
HI Scott,
Many Thanks....Understood re Desktop, just trying to understand the problem and solve. TBH, trying to find a way to get support has been a little frustrating. Trying to speak to a Human seems impossible these day 😒
I will look at 2071752 and see where that takes me. I know its not a hardware fault as I've replicated the error on 4 different but identical machines.
