    I registered a related thread last time, but it's old, so I'm registering a new one.

    The graphic-related issues seem to have improved in 17.6.3, but the afterimage problem still occurs.

    And for the Windows 11 VM-related issue, when I turned on the Virtualize IOMMU option and booted,
    PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR or DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION BSOD occurred randomly in an infinite loop. (Start booting -> BSOD -> automatic reboot -> BSOD occurred again -> recovery attempt -> BSOD occurred during recovery attempt -> automatic reboot ....)
    * Occurred from version 17.6.0 (I checked after installing version 17.6.0 for verification)

    If you turn off the Virtualize IOMMU option, the BSOD does not occur,
    and even if you turn on the Virtualize IOMMU option, if the guest is not Windows 11, it boots normally.

    Below are the guest and host information.
    Guest: Windows 11 23H2 (TPM bypass installation)
    Host: Windows 11 (Intel Core i7 8700, 32GB RAM)

    I guess I'll have to go back to 17.5.2 until a fixed version comes out.
