A special mode of operation called Host VBS Mode is introduced so Workstation Player can work with Windows.

In the Host VBS Mode, Workstation Player uses a set of newly introduced Windows 10 features (Windows Hypervisor Platform) that permits the use of VT/AMD-V features, which enables Workstation Player and Hyper-V to coexist. And because VBS is built on Hyper-V, Windows hosts with VBS enabled can now power on VM in Workstation Player successfully.
