This is as weird as it gets as it used to run just fine until I did a simple reboot. I tried this solution here: VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Worksta… and also tried:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
With and withour reboot - no effect. What should I do next?
