==== Disable mitigations ==== | |||
A message about disabling side channel mitigations shows up only when the ULM is used instead of the ring 0 VMM as the hypervisor monitor. | |||
That means the Windows host has been detected to have Hyper-V enabled. | |||
https://blogs.vmware.com/workstation/2020/05/vmware-workstation-now-supports-hyper-v-mode.html | |||
There is no advanced options in VMware Workstation Player. | |||
To disable the side channel mitigation, shut down the VM and add the following to the VM vmx configuration file. | |||
ulm.disableMitigations = "TRUE" | |||
