  • Can you provide a screenshot of the error? We also need to know what version of VMWare Workstation you are running. Have you considered installing the 21H2 enablement package? 2004 was released more than a year ago and is reaching the end of its support. I can’t recall if 2004 is new enough to support VMWare Workstation and the windows feature required for WSL2

  • @Ramhound VMware version is 16.2.1 which I just updated today hoping that Microsoft virtualization and VMWare get compatibility. For windows I run version 20H2. What I don't understand is that, why after disabling WSL feature on the windows host, it doesn't revert completely to the status at which that VMWare could- use nested virtualization.

  • What optional features do you have enabled currently? You should edit your question instead of submitting a comment.

  • I updated the post. Not sure if the answer of the last question should be also in the post. Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform are enable.

  • You should uninstall them, Windows Hypervisor Platform is required for WSL2, and for little else.
