Can't turn on Virtualization on VMware Workstation Pro 16 for WSL 2.
Hello all,
My host is Windows 11 Pro. My Guest is Windows 10 Pro. Both are up-to-date as of a few minutes ago. My host does not have either the Hyper-V or Windows Sandbox features installed. I'm trying to enable WSL 2 with an Ubuntu Distro in the Win10 Pro guest VM and I can't. It says to check to make sure Virtualization in the BIOS and the Virtual Machine Platform in the guest. VMP is already turned on in the guest but I can't turn on Intel-VT.
Every time I try to boot my guest with Intel-VT enabled, I get this error:
VMware Workstation does not support nested virtualization on this host.
Module 'HV' power on failed.
I'm not sure why it thinks I have nested virtualization enabled. I'm not getting the old credential guard error since they play kind of nice together now. Does anyone have any ideas of what else I need to check to see what might be causing this?
Thanks!
