How to disable side channels mitigation on VMWare Workstation (non-pro versions)?

[kourousafama]

Hi,

I tried to run a VM using VMWare Workstation 17. I get an error message

with the following link for resolution:  https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/79832

However I am not able to follow the steps because I am not able to access the advanced options in the non-pro version of VMWare.

 Clicking on ok in the first link will take me to this:

So how can I find a resolution for this issue knowing that I not using a Pro version?

Thanks in advance,

Open the vmx file for the VM (with Player closed).  Add the following line to it, and save.

ulm.disableMitigations = "TRUE"
