I am running VMWare Workstation 16 Player.
When I run a VM I get a popup warning "You are running the machine with side channel mitigations enabled..."
If I select OK the VM loads very slowly compared to what it used to.
I added the following to the VMs .vmx file:
ulm.disableMitigations = "TRUE"
Now when I try to select or run the VM I get the following error
"Error while opening the virtual machine: VMX file is corrupt."
Since the recommended workaround does not work what should I do about the "side channel mitigations" problem?
Update
After I posted this I realized I must have accidentally corrupted the .vmx file. I didn't know what the problem was so I just recreated the VM. This time when I added thie following again it eliminated the popup message.
ulm.disableMitigations = "TRUE"
