Hi Jen2,

I am sure I have modified the file in the following directory: C:\Windows\SysWOW64. I found the directory via Task Manager and the process with the high processor load. As you know, you can see the path to the executable under Details.
Replacing the file can only be done after successfully stopping the service in the Service Manager. Since I did this, I have no more problems. As soon as I copy the original file back from VMware Workstations pro 17.5, the problem reappears.

Greetings from Hanover, Germany,
