hcmon.sys BSOD Installing Workstation

    Hello - I have (like many others) tried to install Workstation Pro on my Windows 11 25H2 instance, but no matter what I do I get a BSOD referencing hcmon.sys.  I have removed all reference to Hyper-V (installer confirms), don't have Splashtop installed, manually deleted the hcmon.sys file, and still get the BSOD (I did notice the installer copies the hcmon.sys file into the drivers folder again).  I get the same error whether I try v17 or 25H2 of Workstation.

    Needless to say VirtualBox is not cutting it, and I'd like to use Workstation again, but can't get it to install at all.  Any help would be welcome (minidump attached).
