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

[EArminjon]

Hi,

I followed this tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Js-AO3t308 I've intel i7 9700, i've enable Hyper-V (because i need it) in windows and intel VT in bios. I've Vmware workstation 16 (not 15) because it works well with Hyper-V without issue (official doc say that).

But i got error message when running vm :

If i disable Intel VT in vm setttings, the installation didn't achieved or (on my last vm) I got ugly performance.

What should i do ?

This is an issue with running hyper-v concurrently. It disables the ability to use the extensions in all other VMs (Virtual Box, too)

[EArminjon]

Oh :"(, vmware have work to enable hyper v compare to previous version. Did you know if an update of the extension is possible ? Or too much work ?

I had the same issue and after spending few hour and troubleshooting, I managed to resolve this issue.

Step 1

Enable your Virtualization in BIOS

Step 2 - Turn off Hyper V and untick Virtual Machine Platform in Windows 10 Host Machine

Step 3 - Type command in PowerShell (Runs as Admin)

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Step 4 - VMware Workstation Pro 16

Tick Mark - Virtualize Intel VT-x/PT

Step 6 - MOST IMPORTANT

Option - Version need to Hyper- V (unsupported)

Once you installed Hyper V, Restart the Virtual Server. Then you will see Hyper V in Tools.

Good LucK

As I wrote, I need hyper V and not a windows hyper v VM :')

If you are using a laptop that is managed by a system administrator, they would have turned on Virtualization Based Security Enabled in the group policy. In those cases, you can't do much as the group policy gets enabled every single time you restart the machine. You might have to reach out to your system admin.

To check if Virtualization Based Security is enabled

1. Go to windows key -> search for "System Information"
2. Technically this should be in not running status to support nested VMs.

Just disable Virtualize Intell VT-x/EPT or AMD-v/RVI option from VM settings and that should solve your problem.

This is due to a Windows virtual machine configuration that you mistakenly set or a software you installed changes it. Don’t waste your time into install a new virtual machine or reconfigure your VMWare machine because the last time you still started it successfully and it may cause the problem go further and other problems arise.

Last time, we faced this issue after installing the Docker Desktop software which is also a virtualization software

Why is https://github.com/paolo-projects/auto-unlocker/issues/31#issuecomment-782702332 downvoted to heavily? Does it do something bad?

If you uncheck the virtualiaze intel vt-x box you can't do any labs for eve-ng and pnet-labs

As I said, i don't want to disable it. The Vmware doc said that we can keep the VT enabled and Hyper-V enabled using the latest version of VMWARE (16). But it didn't work. That why this issue exist.
