Hyper v is not disabling completely. Hence unable to use the nested virtualization.

Question

Hyper v and the sub menu in the Windows features is unchecked and the BIOS VT is enabled.

But the vmware give this error.

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

In the system Infor we get this below message.

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

Tried all the steps on the below links:
https://www.nakivo.com/blog/uninstalling-or-disabling-hyper-v-in-windows-10/

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/virtualization-apps-not-work-with-hyper-v
Also tried all other YT videos, which shows the same steps above mostly though.

End of the week, the status is same.

Contacted the Microsoft support and they told to post the query here and will get answer in 4 hours.

It is windows 11 Enterprise version 22H2 OS build 22621.3155

Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise OS Version:10.0.22621 N/A Build 22621

Dell Inc. System Model:              Precision 5680 System Type:               x64-based PC

Intel64 Family 6 Model 186 Stepping 2 Genuine Intel

Tried with old and new VMware versions and the result is same.

I request you to share any additional steps to completely disable the hyper and get the nested virtualization enabled on the vmware with out the above error.

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your post. Before moving on, please kindly understand that VMware is a third-party software, if you have issue with enabling nested virtualization in VMware, please contact VMware support at first. VMware Support Offerings & Services

Also, based on my research, you can refer the following VMware support link to enable nested virtualization.

Solved: VMware Workstation does not support nested virtual... - VMware Technology Network VMTN

Best Regards,
