VMWare and “Virtualized AMD-V/RVI is not supported on this platform”

Rather old issue, but still a persistent one if you use VMWare.

Three things to try (as of 2025 for Windows version 24H2). Each of these requires a reboot to make the actual change.

---

Hypervisor Launch Type

In cmd with administrator:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

---

Windows Subsystem for Linux

Open Optional Features, and go to More Windows features

Make sure Windows Subsystem for Linux is turned off.

Turn Off Memory Integrity / Disable VBS

Use System Information to verify that VBS is not enabled. If it’s already disabled, there’s nothing further to do.

Go to Core Isolation and turn off Memory Integrity

If that did not turn off VBS:

Go to Registry Editor, go to:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard

and set EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity to 0

If EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity does not already exist, create a new DWORD.

Reboot and verify again with System Information
