VMware Workstation 15.5.2-15785246 causing Windows 10 experience crash.

VMware Workstation Pro 15.5.2-15785246 (VMWS) installed on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 1909 (Updated until March 2020 - KB4541335)

1. Recently installed new to VMWS and experience Ms. Windows 10 crashed when operating VM Hosts (CentOS 7.7 and CentOS 8.1).

2. Install new VM Hosts (CentOS 7.7 and CentOS 8.1) on VMWS without issue.

3. When operating CentOS 7.7 or CentOS 8.1 OS update with command line -  yum update and dnf update  respectively causing Windows 10 Pro crashed

(refer to attached screenshot)

4. Each time the Windows 10 crash message or Windows stop code is different as follows:-

   a. DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION

   b. KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE

   c. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

5.  I had tested installing Virtualbox and performed new installation of CentOS 7.7 and CentOS 8.  Also did the command line OS update and

do not hit any issue at all.

6. Checked my hardware / HDD / RAM is without issue.

I am wondering if anyone experienced such issue ?  and any solution ?   Thanks.
