Okay I must be missing where/how to resolve this issue. 
Looks like this started over a year ago, however, I've not see a fix that actually resolves the issue.
Had to restore system last month and went to Windows 11, had issue with VM not running my Windows 8 & 10 VM's.
Added {  managedVM.autoAddVTPM = "software"  } then VMWare encrypted the VM.

So would someone please kind enough to point me to the solution?

Thanks in advance.
