Hello,

I have a problem with BSOD on Windows 2022 VMs.

The VMs are running on a ESXi 8 environment and all is upgraded with latest versions.

However many VMs are failing with BSOD.

According to VMware they believe this to be an OS issue. I'm unable to find anything in the dump that points to a driver for that matter.

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    It appears that you’re dealing with a Bug Check 3B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. This check is usually caused by an exception that occurs during the execution of a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.

    Here are some details from the dump you provided:

    Exception Code: c0000005 (Access violation)

    Faulting IP: fffff8002ff0e389 (nt!CmpUpdateKeyNodeAccessBits+0x45)

    Process Name: Registry

    The error occurred in the nt!CmpUpdateKeyNodeAccessBits+0x45 function of the ntkrnlmp.exe module. This function is part of the Windows NT Kernel & System.

    The access violation occurred while trying to write to memory location 00000198f1dc1010, which seems to be causing the system service exception.

    You might want to investigate further into what’s causing this access violation. It could be due to faulty hardware, a driver issue, or even a software problem. If you recently installed new hardware or software, consider rolling back or uninstalling to see if the problem persists.

    Please note that this is a general analysis based on the provided dump and might not pinpoint the exact cause of your issue.

    For the dump files, it is better to open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and file a bug report and attach dump files there:
