Hi all,
I've recently installed VMWare Workstation 15: 15.5.0 build-14665864 and I'm unable to power on any VM's that I've created. I'm using an evaluation license, 30 day free trial.
The error I receive is: "Failed to power on 'D:\Virtual Machines\VM-GNS3-01\VM-GNS3-01.vmx'."
I've trawled the web for hours trying many potential solutions but nothing has resolved the issue such as:
disabling Hyper-V via bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
uninstalling Hyper-V via Programs & Features
disabled device guard virtualisation security via GPedit
disabled memory integrity within Windows security
removed BCD features:
bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d "DebugTool" /application osloader
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} path "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi"
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootsequence {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215}
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} loadoptions DISABLE-LSA-ISO,DISABLE-VBS
disabled and re-enabled virtualisation support in BIOS.
My system: Intel i7-9750H, 16GB RAM, Windows 10 Pro 1903; build 18362.356
Attached is my VMware ui log file.
Any help is appreciated, and questions are more than welcome.
