problem

VMware reports an error when starting the installed virtual machine: Error: Your host does not meet minimum requirements to run VMware workstation with hyper-v or device/credential guard enabled (76918)

Approach

Check the reason according to the prompt URL https://kb.vmware.com/kb/76918

According to the page, the reasons are as follows:

• The host system is lower than Windows 10 20H1 build 19041.264
• The vmware software version is lower than Workstation 15.5.5
• If the host is an Intel processor and not Sandy Bridge, if it is AMD, it is lower than AMD Bulldozer (personally think that this reason will not happen if it is repeated)

Solution:

Update the system to meet Windows 10 20H1 build 19041.264 or newer (can be done or not)

Update the VMware software version to the minimum Workstation 15.5.5 (required)
