VMware Player 16 unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)

[tki_prime]

16.2.0 build-18760230

VERIFY bora\vmx\main\hostWin32.c:569

Host: Windows 11

Guest: Windows 10 install media

BIOS CPU VM Extensions enabled; SMT off

Issue: VM starts; hit enter to launch iso; Windows graphic appears with busy dots for about 5 seconds then this error.

Attached log.

Any help is appreciated.

(Notes: Fresh install of VMWP 16; during install, installing network drivers took an exceptionally long time compared to other installs (~ 8 minutes vs seconds); VM settings have been default with this one vanilla plus 16G RAM, 4 cpu, virt cpu extensions enabled, printer removed; nothing in the .vmx has been edited; did same thing with Windows 10 host; does same thing with ubuntu x64 20.04 LTS Live CD)

I now get the error even when everything in Nvidia control panel ist set to default ....
Quite sure it worked before the update to 17.0.2 build-21581411 ....

Thanks andy you're an absolute legend. Turning off the limit background application FPS limit also fixed it for me.

You prolly saved me so much time!

Did anyone report this to Vmware support directly?

This is still an issue with Vmware 17 latest builds. Setting max frame rate will still crash VMs.

Found 1 good way to fix this for nvidia:

1) Open nv contol panel. 

2) For 3d params, for programms add new programm - "...\VmWare_Workstations\x64\vmware-vmx.exe"

3) Disable both max fps caps for this programm. 

Now all will be working ok.

Is anyone seeing this fix working still on the latest Windows 11 and nvidia driver updates? It is not longer working for me.
