GNS3 and Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT not working in Windows 11 and VMWare 16

I am trying to run GNS3. I get this error message: "Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform. Continue without virtualized Intel VT"  GNS3 requires this setting to be enabled.

The workaround is the following method but its still not working: (KB2146361)

-Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
-Double Click on Device Guard on the right hand side to open.
-Double Click on "Turn On Virtualization Security" to open a new window
-It would be "Not Configured", Select "Disable" and click "Ok"
-Close the Group Policy Editor.
-Restart the system

This gets GNS3 *to work* BUT - it breaks stuff such as Windows System for Linux (WSL). VMWare can you please look to fix this as it was supposed to be fixed in v16.
