running Workstation Pro 17.6.2 on a Windows 10 host

2 issues i have come across:

1)  when running a guest vmnat.sys consumes 25% of the cpu (on a quad core).  i know that this was observed in a prior release but i thought it was fixed.

2) vmnat.sys will crash periodically and create a dump.  then it has to be started manually.

has anyone else seen this issues:

thanks!
