PM 2.0 connection cannot be established after upgrading to ESXi 8.0

Hello team,

I upgraded to 8.0 version because this version is enabled for Windows11 option as guest OS.  Now, I'm trying to install Windows11, but I got the message like PM 2.0 connection cannot be established on ESXi host dashboard.

In fact, Windows11 can't be installed.  I got stuck during setting up.  The error message was like ""This PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11".  Well, the Windows11 was run on this PC actually and TPM2.0 is enabled on BIOS.  Also, secure boot is enabled.  

This is Asrock mother board and CPU is i9-9900K.  I know this will not be a list of HW comatibility for VMware, but Windows11 can be installed with TPM2.0 as guest OS I think.  

I appreciate for your help in here.

Regards,
