Hi, I’m having an issue installing VMware Workstation Pro. The installer keeps detecting Hyper-V or Device/Credential Guard, even though I’ve disabled both Hyper-V and VBS. I confirmed Hyper-V is off (and I ran bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off), disabled VBS in Group Policy (gpedit.msc set to "Disabled"), and turned off Memory Integrity in Windows Security. I also unchecked Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform in Windows Features. But the installer still shows the warning.

version- VMware-workstation-full-17.6.3-24583834    (VMware Workstation Pro 17.6.3)
