Hi,
I am facing an issue as soon as I start my virtual machine, my system crashes with BSOD (picture attached). I have no third party anti-virus installed on my laptop. In Windows Defender, I have already added an exclusion for the root folder of my VM. Can someone please help? I have 16.0.0 build-16894299 installed on my PC and trying run a virtual machine of Windows 10 21H1. Same virtual machine is working on another laptop of my friend. My laptop model is Lenovo Core i3 Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL.
The SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION BSOD is a vague error that seems to be popping up here quite a bit recently...starting to think I should create a block of text to copy and paste for it 
Generally these can be solved by updating everything. According to the pictures your Windows 10 is fairly up to date so all you really need to worry about there is ensuring your other drivers, things like the GPU and Sound Card or Network Drivers are also up to date.
Most of all though you're not using the latest version of Workstation 16. If I were you I'd start with downloading 16.1.2-17966106 and update that first. It may do the trick all by itself.
Likely not related but the photos also show the install date for the OS as tomorrow (Maybe you're just in a different time zone?) and that the system only has 4GB to start with. I'd double check your VM Settings to ensure they aren't set for something higher than your system can handle. Depending on what you have installed or running on the host it's likely that at least 1-2 GB of that is already in use so unless you want to use a decent size pagefile and deal with a slow VM as things are written to disk constantly you may have to reduce the amount of RAM allowed for your VM (Depending on what its set at)
Hi,
The first thing to try is to update to the latest Workstation release.
You can download it from here:

Install that and try again.
