I found the solution. Its a Windows 10 Home edition workaround. Run the following command in CMD (open as "Run as Administrator") --- bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off Once the command is executed, reboot the system. This way VMware is able to set Virtualize Intel VT-X/EPT in VM settings. You can follow the video on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTSYfjAgbZc
