Hi Technogeezer! Thanks for your comments and explanations! I should have been more precise in my question as I did not explain clearly that I did NOT enable the three entries marked with the red arrows. My settings are currently exactly as shown in the screenshot.  With these setting, the VM does start but is extremely slow (like 10-20 times slower than normal). The vmware.log file shows the entry:  2023-06-19T08:01:48.665Z In(05) vmx Monitor Mode: CPL0   Also I am wondering if the VM "Hardware" settings with respect to the "Processors" entries need to be adjusted - possibly depending on the related "Windows Feature" settings... The image below shows my current VM Hardware setting:   I am grateful for every hint/tip...

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!
