Should Hyper-V be enabled for VMware Workstation 16 Pro installation?

Windows 10 Features for best VMware WS 16 Pro performance:

Which of these Windows 10 features should be enabled for VMware Workstation 16 Pro?

1) Virtual Machine Platform

2) Windows Hypervisor Platform

3) Windows Subsystem for Linux

Or, should they all be disabled?

Thanks, Rich

None of these are needed.  https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/80624

The installation wizard will give a message if perquisites are needed. Just start the installer and go through the installation wizard.

Thank you for the reply.

Just to be clear, you are saying that all three Windows features listed should be unchecked before VMware Workstation Pro is installed?

Cheers, Rich

You don't specialy check these boxes to install VMware Workstation Pro. These are features used by hyper-v.
