I am trying to run Windows 10x64 on my VMware Workstation 16 Pro (16.1.1 build-17801498) with "virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT" checked (its needed for my assignment) but i keep getting the error :
"VMware Workstation does not support nested virtualization on this host. Module 'HV' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine."
im doing this for school and am totally lost now. i was previously using vmware 15.5.x.x with same issues. so tried upgrading to VM 16 to no end.
pls help.
I have also enabled virtualization in the BIOS.

@TMRM give the answer in comment !
Vmware is working fine with Hyper-V features unactivated in Windows Feature but since last update seem to have "Virtual Machine Platform" options to remove too. Need to uncheck that and restart for get your VM working again !
