VMware gives error 'The processor does not support XSAVE' when trying to play VM


When I try to play a VM on VMware I get this error:

The processor does not support XSAVE. This virtual machine cannot be powered on.

I saw some stuff online about disabling hyper-v in windows control panel, but when I look in Control Panel -> Program and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off, hyper-v is off.

I'm not sure what is wrong, because I previously used VMware on this computer and it worked. I uninstalled it, and now a few months later the same image won't run.


Solution

  • Figured it out!

    Open command prompt as an administrator, run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off, and then reboot the computer.
