    Hi Mandeep,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    It seems like you've already taken the correct steps by disabling Hyper-V and ensuring that your CPU supports virtualization. The error message "Module 'vpmc' power on failed" in VMware typically indicates a problem related to virtualization settings or conflicts with other virtualization technologies.

    You can try the method provided in the Vmware support link mentioned in your screenshot: vPMCs are not supported by VMware Fusion on macOS Big Sur or VMware Workstation with Hyper-V (broadcom.com)

    In Fusion, the steps are:

    1. Power off the VM. For suspended VM, click the Virtual Machine menu, press and hold the 'option' key, then click Power Off.
    2. Open VM Machine from the menu bar,
    3. Choose Settings
    4. Click Processors&Memory > Advanced options
    5. Uncheck the option 'Enable code profiling applications in this virtual machine' and close the settings window.
    6. Power on the VM.

    In Workstation/Workstation Player, the steps are::

    1. Power off the VM.
    2. Open VM Settings and select "Processors" in "Hardware" table.
    3. Uncheck the option 'Virtualize CPU performance counters' in the right panel.
    4. Click OK to save and close the setting window.
    5. Power on the VM.

    If the methods provided in the VMware Support link do not help, it is recommended that you contact VMware Support for further assistance. Home - Support Portal - Broadcom support portal

    Disclaimer: Microsoft provides no assurances and/or warranties, implied or otherwise, and is not responsible for the information you receive from the third-party linked sites or any support related to technology.

    I hope this helps. If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Your Sincerely
