Which "Windows Features" are needed (on Windows 10) for the "Workstation Player v17"

After having experienced really heavy lags of my Windows 10 OS (10.0.19044) when 
running some Windows VM with the new Workstation Player v17  I tried to reconfigure
some of the "Windows Features" in order to get this fixed. Now, after disabling the
two features:

  • Virtual Machine Platform

  • Windows Hypervisor Platform

the Workstation Player is completely unusable as booting of a "Windows 7" VM
takes like 15 minutes and then it continues to be virtually none-responsive.
Note: The entry "Hyper-V" was and is inactive anyway.

When I tried to understand which windows features need to be enabled and/or
disabled in order to have a performant Workstation Player VM without interfering
too much with the performance of my host, I could not find the relevant information.

So my question is, which of the "Windows Features" should be enabled - or disabled
in order to achieve my above mentiond goal (if possible at all...)   

Any advice or comments would be appreciated!
