You will probably face this issue if you try to install a virtual machine inside a virtual machine. In my case, I was trying to install Android emulators inside a VM. Eventually I was able to fix this issue after a whole day of researching.

To fix this issue:

  1. Your VM must have at least 2 processors. Go to your VM settings -> Hardware -> Processors and change the Number of processors (Hint – This setting is changeable only when your VM is turned off)
  2. Open the directory where your VM is located, and locate the .vmx file. Right click and open with text editor.
  3. Add the following lines:
    1. hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”
    2. mce.enable = “TRUE”
    3. vhv.enable = “TRUE”
  4. Save and run your VM.
