The Windows 11 22H2 host is dead meat - Workstation now has this silly side-channel mitigation and it involves having some form of hyper-v on the host. My vague understanding is this happens because of Windows host device drivers and MS trying to 'secure' them. MS is notorious for having a history of device driver implementations going back to the CPU ring 0/1/2/3 thingy and trying to accommodate everyone. Hopefully MS and VMWare and work thru all this sillyness.
