    Hi ,

    Since I upodated to 17.6 I am unable to run VM with Linux , Windows VMs start fine.

    As part of investigation I created EMPTY "Linux Debian 11 x64"  (empty = set "will install OS later" checkbox" and it also just crashes with this error, Even without OS.

    Attached the full VM folder with logs and crush dump.

    My computer - 

    Intel i7-8700K , NVIDIA 4070 GPU, 64GB ram.

    Windows 11 Pro (latest 23H2 with all the updates)

    As suggested here https://community.broadcom.com/vmware-cloud-foundation/question/vmware-workstation-176-unrecoverable-error-svga-svga-exception-0xc0000005 disabling the hardware acceleration for entire vmware (not just specific vm) kind of fixes the issue and linux vms start.

    Obviously as result Windows VM now work without acceleration as result of it 😢
