Intel Video Updates break Kali Linux 2023.1

I have a Kali V2023.1 VM running in VMware Workstation V17. Kernel is 6.1.0.

Twice in the last month, Intel Video driver updates for the Windows 11 Pro Host (Intel Video 31.0.101.4146 this past week) caused my Kali VM to lock up solid. Not Windows 11, Not Windows 10 VM, Not Ubuntu 22.04).

Intel does various updates that do not cause a restart, but Intel is too arrogant to tell users if Apps need to be closed before updating).

I do not know if you can help.


I am trying to remember to close down Kali before update Intel Video on the Host Machine.

Thank you.
