I have had the same issue as well.   After reading this post, I was able to solve the issue by following the steps in this blog.   Here is the steps that I found work:

1) Downgrade the Hardware to Version 16.2

2) Change the number of processors and cores to 1

3) Upgrade the Hardware to 17.0

It worked.   In addition, I have changed the processor settings to 1 processor and 4 cores.   As well, I have also changed the OS from Windows 10 x64 to Windows 11 x64.   It's still working, and I would say that its solved.   Thanks everyone for the assistance.
