Error encountered while attempting to launch the virtual machine.
Error encountered while attempting to launch the virtual machine.
Hi, on my gaming PC using VMWare Pro 16 I encounter a BSOD when trying to start a VM. The message reads "EXCEPTION_ON_ INVALID STACK BSOD." I've turned on all the virtualization settings in BIOS. My build details are here: https://newegg.io/8f3ca36. I'm using an ASRock Z690 PG Riptide motherboard (see manual: https://download.asrock.com/Manual/Z690 PG Riptide.pdf). What should I do to fix this?
Without activating the required options, VMWare would just decline to launch virtual machines. If you're not using the newest BIOS, it might be worth a shot (https://pg.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z690 PG Riptide/index.asp#BIOS). Their change logs aren't very helpful. Microsoft provides some details on this exception (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...alid-stack), though it's not very useful for non-developers. The issue usually stems from a driver bug, so updating drivers could be a good next step.
