VMware (Broadcom) — VMware virtual machine communication interface
When blamed in a crash: Very likely the true cause
What to do
VMware's host driver.
- Update VMware Workstation/Player to the newest version.
- If you no longer use VMware, uninstall it fully — orphaned vmci/vmx86 drivers cause crashes long after.
