    Hi,

    I am running version 17.6.3 build-24583834 where I have very important XP Machine crashing after 30 min or few hours with following message:

    I read few things about SVGA driver, I have disabled 


    is there some workaround available for this?

    damima Requesting you to recreate the issue and generate support bundle of affected VM using menu option  Help->Support->Collect Support Data.

    Once done, please share Support bundle on this thread.

    1) Please confirm if only the XP Virtual Machine is crashing or entire Workstation application is crashing.

    2) Please confirm if other virtual machines on the same setup are working fine.

    1) Please confirm if only the XP Virtual Machine is crashing or entire Workstation application is crashing.

    yes, this is only XP VM crashing. Workstation is still running with no issues with other VM ( W11)

    2) Please confirm if other virtual machines on the same setup are working fine.

    Yes, if you are asking about other VM (like W11, W10) they are working fine.

    Where did you see those log messages?  They are not included in any of the log files included in the provided support bundle.  Can you please provide that log file (or reproduce this problem and provide a new log file)?
