Windows 10: Nested Virtualization with Windows 11 Pro and VMware pro 17.6

Hello friends, I really need your help.I got an X1 Carbon Gen 12th for nested virtualization with Windows. When I install Windows 11 Pro on it, I can easily use the nested virtualization feature with VMware Workstation 17.6 Pro before the Windows updates are installed.The problem arises after Windows updates!This feature no longer wo

:)

 

I cannot enable the nested VT-x/AMD-V to both VMWare Workstation and Virtualbox using Windows 11 Pro.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in the community.

To enable nested virtualization for VirtualBox or VMware Workstation, Hyper-V need to be disabled on Windows. Please open Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt as administrator, run bcdedit and make sure hypervisorlaunchtype is set to Off. If not, run

then restart the computer.

If the above step doesn't work, you might need to enable nested virtualization manually. For VirtualBox, you can use the VBoxManage command

Since these are third-party virtualization software, it's also recommended to contact Oracle/VMWare to confirm how to set up nested virtualization.

I cannot enable the nested virtualization VT-x/AMD-V to both VMWare Workstation and Virtualbox (already in latest versions) using my Windows 11 Pro. Virtualization is already enabled in BIOS.

To troubleshoot, I already disabled the following:

1. Windows Features:

- Hyper-V

- Virtual Machine Platform

- Windows Hypervisor Platform

2. Core Isolation > Memory integrity

3. Credential Guard > Virtualization Based Security from Not configured to Disabled

Can you share me how to fix this please.

better solutions to fix rather than uninstalling the update....

Either reg fix or compatibility administrator tool

For compatibility administrator tool, only need to install 1st one on list and unselect the rest (only a 7.7Meg install)
