Hello,

I have the same issue.

Here is the environment information :

Microsoft Surface Book 3 (Intel i7 1065G7 1.3 GHz/32 GB/512GB)
Windows 10 Pro 1909
VMware Workstation 15.5.7 build-17171714.

And I checked all what is suggested in the article 76918, Hyper-V is not activated Device Guard is not activated.

Something activated Hyper-V for you to get that message (could be WSL2 or Virtualisation-based Security). Upgrade Windows to 2004 or 20H2, and Workstation should work.

Microsoft has an article on this topic entitled: Virtualization applications don't work together with Hyper-V, Device Guard, and Credential Guard in which they provide steps on how you can "disable Hyper-V, Device Guard, and Credential Guard to help you use virtualized applications."

This may provide a little more insight than the VMware article, but I only briefly compared the two.

Best of luck...
