Screen flickering Problem after installing VMWare/VirtualBox

Anonymous

I have HP 15s-fr1004tu laptop. It has Windows 11 installed in it.

When I first time installed VMWare, my laptop showed a BSOD. And then when I restarted my laptop, the screen was flickering. I panicked so much, I didn't what to do. Then I uninstalled VMWare, then the problem solved. Later I figured out that VMWare enables Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform, and that was causing the screen to flicker. Then I installed VirtualBox. It was working good. But today when I turned on my laptop. The screen was flickering again. I checked if Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform was enabled or not. It was not enabled. Then I uninstalled VirtualBox, and the problem was solved.

What should I do now? Because I need a hypervisor for my work.

Please help

Thanks in advance.

Nevermind. I fixed the problem by installing an older version of VirtualBox.
