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

Receiving this message when i try to turn on a vm with vt-x/ept enabled. Asus Rampage 10 Edition with i7-6800k cpu, wich is wrong?

I am assuming you are using Workstation Pro/Player 15.5.5 or newer on Windows 10 host and you are trying to have nested VM since you posted on the "Nested Virtualizations" subforum.

Starting with 15.5.5, a ring 3 VMM is used when Hyper-V enabled on the Windows 10 host.

https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2020/05/vmware-workstation-now-supports-hyper-v-mode.html

If you have Hyper-V enabled or Hypervisor Platform enabled in the Windows host, you'd get that message when you try to have nested VMs.

Removing these features will go back to the ring 0 VMM and nested virtualisation would work the same it did prior to version 15.5.5.

Ok. See, virtualization isn't my area. Soo i dont know.

What im trying to do, its install EV-NG ( https://www.eve-ng.net/ ) for networking virtualization studies, actually i have a Asus Rampage 10 Edition motherboard running a I7-6800K CPU with Windows 10 Pro Workstation, i've installed hyper-v on this OS but already uninstalled, still having the same error.

When you say “Windows 10 Pro Workstation”, do you mean VMware Workstation Pro on a Windows 10 system?

[mf9510]

Yes and no. Im using OS Windows 10 Pro for Workstation and trying to run VMware Workstation Pro 16

[scott28tt]

That’s just a “yes” then.

Same problem is coming in my Laptop. When i run kali virtual machine then vmware workstation player pop up the message for not supporting VT-x/EPT. What should i do now? How to solve this issue? Any reccommeded setting for vmware workstation player 16.0 to git rid of this issue? What is meant by nesting VM?

All,

Even I am trying to use EVE-NG on VMWare Player 16 running over windows 10 home and getting the same error message even when Intel Virtualisation Technology is already Enabled under BIOS options.

Please help with the resolution.

Has there been a fix for this yet, or do we just all need to continue suffering, and regretting spending hundreds of dollars for stuff that doesn't work?
