VMWare cpu tick errors

Hi all, short time user here but already a big fan of Home Assistant.:slight_smile:
I run home assistant on a Windows PC using VM Workstation Pro v16.2.3

After a while the OS will report CPU tick errors (see image below).
If I restart occasionally, this doesn’t provide a problem. However if I leave the VM running without a reboot after a while HO will stop functioning fully. Normal usage remains but all the settings are unavailable, the settings are a blank screen with only the header.

Anyone with a clue how I can resolve this? I can’t find much about this on the internet.

Thanks in advance!
