When running the VMware player for a while, I received the following error:
vmware-unity-helper.exe - application error
The instruction at 0x0000000075D2EDD2 referenced memory at 0x0000000075CD60B8. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc000000e. Clock on OK to terminate the program
If I click on OK, then it crash the PC.

Why the unity helper log is getting error on the VMware Workstation since I'm using the VMware player?
What could be the fix of this unity helper crash?
Thanks in advance for your help
