Loaded Workstation 16 in and did necessary downloads. when I tried to play i get an error message. Your host does not meet minimum requirements to run VMware Player with Hyper-V or Device/Credential Guard enabled. Refer to VMware KB article 76918 at https://kb.vmware.com/kb/76918 for more details. Not sure I7 6core 8750H 32mb Ram good GPU? Dell XPS 15 8750. not sure were credential gaurd is to see if it is enabled?

You know. cant say that I did. I will reply what happens for the sake of the thread and for the shear dubmness I have shown not actually reading the pop up.

so I am now back in a conundrum. I believe my processor is stronger then a sandy bridge. would that stop it from being usable? and my version of windows is 1909(more recent)? Hyper-V is turned off. not sure were to go from here?

Hi,

If you still get the same error then most likely Hyper-V is still active.

You can check the vmware.log if it has either ULM or OPL in there.

In order to turn off Hyper-V mode, run the following command at the host in windows command-line with Administrator privileges:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Reboot the system to activate it.

If you want to go back to Hyper-V mode again, then you can enable it like this:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
