    I am attempting  to install and use VMWare Workstation Pro (Virtual Machine), on this Lenovo AMD and keep getting the following errors, regardless as to what I do to remediate the problem.

    Please Keep me and point me in the right direction to accomplish my task.

    Also I am running this same setup on a HP intel based machine with no problems.

    Virtualized AMD-V/RVI is not supported on this platform

     

    Error that I am getting that is preventing me for using VMWare Workstation VM, on this Lenovo – System Model 83JG,

     AMD Ryzen 7 250W/Radeon 780M Graaphics, 3301 Mhz, 8 core(s) 16 Logic

    Windows 11 Pro

     

    In Local Computer Policy I have made the following changes:

    1.   I have made sure that all Hyper-V items in "Turn Windows Features on/off":

    2.   In gpedit.msc - Virtualization Based Security is Disabled Computer Configuration, Administrative Template, System, Device Guard, Turn off.

    3.   In BIOS Version – RBCN23WW: AMD V (TM) Technology is Enabled

    4.   Memory Integrity – off

    5.   In PowerShell - bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

    .

    Please tell me if doing the following will help me with this issue or does BroadCom have other soluctions.

    After many trials, I discovered that permanently disabling deviceguard must be done with the tool
    "Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool"
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53337
    provided by Microsoft.

    These are the steps:

    1.   download the zip file and unzip it

    2.   open powershell with administrator permissions

    3.   enters the path of the extracted folder

    4.   if you don't have permession to execute the file, launch this command before:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

    5.   Now you are able to launch the command:
    .\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6.ps1 -Disable

    6.   Reboot your computer, during the boot it ask you if you want disable permanently Credential Guard and VBS.

    Has anyone found a solutions for this error??

    You don't have to have that working. It is required for Nested Virtualization that you have NOT said that you use.

    Just change the Virtual Computer Settings not to try to use that functionality and it will work just fine.
