[SOLVED] Ubuntu 22.04 VM freeze on VMware workstation 16

Issue

I have a scratch installation of Ubuntu 22.04 over VMware workstation 16.
My host is Windows 10.
After a while using the VM, it started to freeze after couple of minutes of usage, each time.
In some cases, before the VM froze, I've noticed some of my applications gets to 100% cpu, which should never happen. When trying to debug it using perf the VM froze one again, so I wasn't able to see why my apps got to 100%.

Why does my VM freeze?


Solution

I don't know why, but unmarking Accelerate 3D graphics of Virtual Machine Settings -> Display -> 3D graphics solved the problem.
I have an NVIDIA GeForce MX450 on my host.
