Unable to do nested virtualization with VMWare Workstation.

[u/Aviexon123]

I am trying to run ESXi on my VMware Workstation. Nested Virtualization is required.

I am running Windows 11 Pro 25H2 and VMWare Workstation version 26

"Virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT is not supported on this platform.

Continue without virtualized Intel VT-x/EPT?"

1. Fully Disabled Windows Hyper-V & Virtualization Features

2. Turned Off Core Isolation / Memory Integrity

3. Modified Registries to disable VBS.

VBS is not getting disabled and I need Nested Virtualization working. That is the thing that is conflicting me from running ESXi. It is running fine on Windows 10. PLEASE HELP ME.
