Hi,
Yes, it is possible for WSL2 and VMware Workstation to coexist on the same Windows host.
My configuration:
VMware Workstation 17.5.2
Host: Windows 11 23H2
State of Windows features:
- Hyper-V (off)
- Virtual Machine Platform (on)
- Windows Hypervisor Platform (on)
I believe only the later 2 are required for WSL2.
I'm not familiar with bcedit, so can't tell if that's related to your problem.
Try the following:
- Double-check your BIOS/EFI settings to ensure that virtualization is enabled. Sounds like a longshot, b/c if it isn't enabled you would not be able to install any of the virtualization tools.
- Check if the CPU on your Windows 10 host supports Virtualized AMD-V/RVI
