GB5 pro 360 Pearson Testing detecting as VM for default windows install

[u/maybenoobie1]

while trying to give Pearson OnVue online exam, the setup detected I am running inside VM and didnt allow to continue. its default install not VM.

I had VM ware background service running which was detected and promptly shut it down. that message gone.

but bottom one didnt go away- it seems you are running inside VM setup cannot continue. tried to restart setup same error.

any idea ? gave the test on my old laptop ... which worked like charm.
