I am seeting up EVE-NG in my new QBT1250 Dell pro plus tower Desktop.

As soon as I turn on node the VM crashes .

In VM25 , i get the below error:-
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-2) Exception 0x80000003 (debug breakpoint) has occurred.

In VM17 , i got the below error :-
Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.
Continue without virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT
?

Note:- My friend has the Same W11pro and same BIOS setting and it is working for him.

My system infobhas below message :-
Hyper-V Requirements: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

Friend PC has this setting

Virtualization-based security: Status: Not enabled

                           App Control for Business policy: Enforced

                           App Control for Business user mode policy: Enforced

                           Security Features Enabled:

```yaml
                           Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes

                           Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes  
```Steps that I performed:-   
  
1.  
Turn off Memory Integrity.  
  
2.  
 Force Disable Hypervisor at Boot (Deep Level)  
Open CMD as Administrator and run ALL of these one by one:  
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off  
bcdedit /set vsmlaunchtype off

bcdedit /set nx optin  
3.   
Completely Remove Hyper-V Packages (DISM Method)  
dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All /norestart

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

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

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:IsolatedUserMode /norestart  
  
4. Disable the Virtualization Based Security in Device Guard in gpedit.msc  
  
**Now I find this Link :-
