Installing v17.02 - Hyper-V disabled - should I install Windows Hypervisor Platform?Installing v17.0

Trying to install WS Pro 17.02 but the setup reports

"
Installer detected the host has Hyper-V or Device/Credential Guard enabled.
To run VMware Workstation Pro on hosts with Hyper-V or Device/Credential
Guard enabled, install Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHP) on the host
through 'turn Windows features on or off, or remove the Hyper-V role from
the system. Check the following checkbox if you want the installer to install
WHP on the host automatically.
"


Both Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform are disabled.

What now? Should I enable WHP ..? or maybe both?

Thanks.

Thank you!

Matter solved, after the gpedit step.
Upto a certain level I am fairly familiar with gpedit, registry settings and whatever-above-newbie-level kind of stuff.
I am sure though, if you were to show this kind of 'solutions' to others, probably 9 out of 10 (smartphone addicts) wouldn't know what this is about in the first place  :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Anyway, as said, matter solved. Everything working fine.

Thanks again!
