What makes you think that this issue has anything to do with Workstation Pro?
Ther is a possibility that’s this is not Workstation related. But anti-cheat software is known to flag if software (usually a game) is being run in a VM. For some reason either the developer doesn’t want to support VMs or they consider it a an avenue to cheat if you do run in a VM.
Trying to defeat anti-cheat software is like gambling in the casino: the house (developer) almost always wins. It’s also a cat and mouse game like anti-virus - you may get around the anti-cheat today, but the software continually evolves to catch new ways of bypassing it.
This is a long winded way of saying that there’s no magic that will disable the anti-cheat software. They don’t tell you what they are doing to detect they are running on a VM and that detection is constantly changing. You also risk getting banned if the publisher finds you are running a game on a VM.
There are plenty of discussions out in the web about people having this problem across VMware, KVM/QEMU, and Hyper-V. Most do not have solutions.
