I have been trying to install Kali on my VMware pro 16 and whenever I try it, I get a BSOD. I have tried disabling the hypervisor, 3d Accelerator is UNchecked, have tried using 1 processor with 1 thread and multiple processors. Tried 2 different images + a VMDK from Kali official website.
My pc is running Windows 11 Home Edition (upgraded from 10)
Version 10.0.22000 Build 22000
AMD Ryzen 5000 Series 9
The BSOD takes me to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/sbs/windows/troubleshoot-blue-screen-errors-5c62726c-6489-52da-a...
From a BSOD analyzer, I get this message:

Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this tim
From VMWare logs, I keep seeing this

However, the error has been present for both the VMDK (working on a different PC using Intel Processor), and on the ISO downloaded from KALI.
I need to know what to do next.
