I tried all of that. I created a new Windows 11 x64 , it did not work. I turned off the side channel mitigations, that did not work.
I think something the Fusion is not able to connected to a Sonoma driver and it just shuts down. I'm no expert in VMware so take that with a grain of salt.
I also tried to change the boot from EFI to BIOS, that did not work.
I copied an old Windows 10 VM I had not used in about a year and that was a worse disaster. VMware could not update or upgrade it and it failed differently then my Window 11 VM.
