3. PC must support Secure Boot and TPM 2.0
4. TPM2.0 must be enabled
2. Enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 on VMware Workstation Pro

You can repair the error by encrypting your virtual machine and then adding a virtual Trusted Platform Module (TPM) if you are using VMware Workstation Pro.
Important: If you are using VMware Workstation Player, proceed to the next technique, which involves hacking the registry and editing the .vmx file.
3. Edit the VMX file to add VTPM (VMware Workstation Player)
You can resolve the issue by editing the VMX file to verify that VTPM is installed on VMware Workstation.

Locate the Windows 11.vmx file in the Windows 11 Virtual Machine folder.
From the next menu, select Open with – Notepad from the context menu when you right-click the .vmx file.
Opening with Notepad

To save the file and close Notepad, use Ctrl S.
Restart VMware Workstation, Fusion or Player after the file has been modified.
