Home Assistant in VM-ware crash with windows update KB5021233

Hello,

I’m running Home Assistant for a year now, and so far all my “problems” has been solved by searching online.
But now I have a very strange problem.

My setup:
I have a Intel NUC with Windows 10 installed (21H2).
I use Vm-Ware workstation Player (v17) to run Home assistant in (I followed the guide to make the VM).

This has workt for almost a year without any issues.

But after an update of the windows 10, the Home assistant VM starts using more and more CPU till it finaly stops responding. This takes about 5 to 15 minutes.

WINDOWS UPDATE:
2022-12 Cumulatieve update voor op Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64 gebaseerde systemen (KB5021233)

When I remove the update it works without issues.
How is this possible, and how can I fix this?

Has version 17 been out that long?

I’m using v17 (V16 format) on a fully updated W10 machine with no issues… yet…

Did you convert the existing v16 VM to v17 when you first loaded the vm in v17?
