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

[Udit16]

Tried following option but no luck

1. Verify CPU Virtualization Support

Ensure your CPU supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V. You can check this in your system's BIOS or by searching for your processor model on the manufacturer's website.

Example: For Intel CPUs, search for your processor (e.g., i7-9750H) on the Intel website and confirm "Intel VT-x" is listed under supported features.

1. Enable Virtualization in BIOS

Restart your computer and access the BIOS/UEFI settings. Enable Intel VT-x (or AMD-V) and VT-d if available. Save changes and reboot.

1. Disable Conflicting Windows Features

Disable Hyper-V, Windows Hypervisor Platform, and Virtual Machine Platform as they conflict with VMware Workstation.

Steps:

Open "Turn Windows features on or off."

Uncheck: Hyper-V Windows Hypervisor Platform Virtual Machine Platform

Reboot your system.

1. Disable Core Isolation and Memory Integrity

Core Isolation can block virtualization features.

Steps:

Go to Settings > Device Security > Core Isolation.

Turn off Memory Integrity.

Reboot your system.

1. Configure VMware Settings

In VMware Workstation:

1. Right-click the VM and select Settings.

Under Processors, enable Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI.1. Verify CPU Virtualization Support

Hello.

Every new CPU has VT-D and EPT or their equivalents. The feature has been there for many years now.

What is your laptop model? Type the product number (p/n) from the bottom cover if you don't have other information.

Is your laptop managed by your employer? If it is - ask your company IT department to enable VT-d.

Hi,

Issue resolved. ESET Antivirus was blocking virtualization (VT-x/EPT) without logging any events. It appears to bypass Microsoft settings like Core Isolation (Memory Integrity); even when Memory Integrity is disabled in Windows, ESET continues to block virtualization from being exposed to VMware Workstation.
