Unable to Launch Vmware workstation Pro Instance

Anonymous

Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.

Continue without virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT?

VMware Workstation does not support nested virtualization on this host.

Module 'HV' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine.

I Have Disabled all Hyperv Feature and Policies from GPEDIT but still Msinfo32 shows

A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

Action Taken

Disable VBS and Device Guard

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard" /v EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard" /v RequireMicrosoftSignedBootChain /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA" /v LsaCfgFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Disable App Control for Business

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppHVSI" /v HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DeviceGuard" /v EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DeviceGuard" /v RequirePlatformSecurityFeatures /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config" /v VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Disable Hyper-V completely

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-hyper-v-all /norestart

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:WindowsHypervisorPlatform /norestart

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /norestart

Reboot the system

shutdown /r /t 0

🚀 This will force VBS, Credential Guard, Hyper-V and App Control for Business to be disabled.

If it doesn't work, paste this after restarting

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppHVSI" -Name "HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity" -Value 0

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CI\Config" -Name "VulnerableDriverBlocklistEnable" -Value 0

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DeviceGuard" -Name "EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity" -Value 0

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DeviceGuard" -Name "RequirePlatformSecurityFeatures" -Value 0

gpupdate /force

shutdown /r /t 0

Still no use Msinfo32 give me following information

A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

Please Suggest....

    Hello,

    Based on the information you provided, I suggest you try the following steps to see if they work:

    1. Open Windows Security -> Under Virus & threat protection, click **Manage settings ->**find Tamper Protection - > toggle it Off

    Image

    2**.**Open Registry EditorNavigate to this path:**HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard ->**create DWORD EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity->****set its value to 0

    Image

    1. Restart the PC and check again.

    Finally, you can refer to the method in the following thread to completely disable Hyper-V to see if this problem can be solved.

    Can't delete hyper-v - Microsoft Community

    Best Regards
