I'm running Fedora 37 with kernel 6.5.7.  I recently upgraded VMware Workstation Pro to 17.5. Now as soon as I start a VM my laptop locks up solid.  The only option I have is to power cycle.  I have waited up to an hour to see if it recovers, but it doesn't.  This happens with Windows VM or Linux VM.  It happens whether I upgrade the VM or not.  These are all VMs that worked fine before I upgraded VMware.  As a comparison I have no problems running VMs with VirtualBox on the same system.

Is there a way to go back to the prior release of VMware Workstation Pro?
