Windows 10: Disabling Memory Integrity is causing windows 11 to BSOD while Powering on Vmware...

Hello All,I have newly purchased a laptop having system config: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language OS Version: 10.0.22000 N/A Build 22000 OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation System Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. System Model: ROG Strix G533ZW_G533ZWZ System Type: x64-based PC I wanted to do run some host in VMware workstation 16 but enabling Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI under virtualization engine setting in vmware workstation won't power on the VMware

Disabling Memory Integrity is causing windows 11 to BSOD while Powering on Vmware workstation host

OS can cause BSODs however so can software trigger them if there's an underlying hardware related issue (of which may not have a fix available) such as with drivers, firmware, BIOS, etc.

Sometimes software has to work around them. Mozilla did this recently with Firefox for instance as users had a problem from CPU related crashes in very specific hardware. They had to workaround it.

If somehow VMware is triggering Windows to create a BSOD or if VMware is triggering a flaw in the hardware's software....

If updating VMware or using different VM software works then that's definitely a potential solution. Updating Windows, the BIOS, chipset drivers, etc may be as well. Updating VMware is however a simple and possibly only thing needed if it works.

There is potential for there to be wrong or bad values on the RAM or other BIOS issues as well. We expect the BIOS to get things exactly right but they don't always do so.

This may not even be related to Memory Integrity or the RAM anyway. Disabling Memory is needed to get virtualization working so it may only be a virtualization, CPU, or BIOS issue. Enabling Memory Integrity will disable virtualization with VMs so its not really a good thing here imo for going on.

Hope the best

Hello All,

I have newly purchased a laptop having system config:

Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language

OS Version: 10.0.22000 N/A Build 22000

OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation

OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation

System Manufacturer: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

System Model: ROG Strix G533ZW_G533ZWZ

System Type: x64-based PC

I wanted to do run some host in VMware workstation 16 but enabling Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI under virtualization engine setting in vmware workstation won't power on the VMware host leading to error Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform. Continue without virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT?

I tried to do much more findings on the web wherein the solution was to completely disable the hyper-V. I tried to do so from disabling windows feature on and off and uncheck hyper-v setting along with running some CMD and powershell command to disable it. Result same it wont start. One last check I found was to disable the Memory Integrity under Windows security>Device Security>core isolation details > Memory Integrity>toggled off.

As I toggled off Memory integrity and went back to power on VMware host it gave me BSOD error.
"your device ran into problem .......we're just collecting some error info and then we will restart for you"

If you call a support person, give them this info:

Stop code: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Could someone is aware how to fix this ? I am not able to run nested VM on this host . Please assist have been looking for the workaround.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dave,

I will again disable the memory integrity again so that I will get BSOD and mini dumps will be generated. I will do it and share you within a moment.

Thank You
