KVM + fortnite = BSOD - Kernel_Security_Check_Failure

I had the same issue with Fortnite, do the below:

Avoiding Blue screen of death on Windows:

$ sudo -s
$ echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/ignore_msrs

To make this permanent:
$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf

Add this in:
options kvm ignore_msrs=Y
options kvm report_ignored_msrs=N

Hope this helps.
