Vmware Workstation Pro 17.0.0 Build 20800274 -x... Jun 2026

Build 20800274 fully utilizes Intel VT-x and AMD-V hardware-assisted virtualization. Notably, it introduces shadow stack support, a security feature that mitigates return-oriented programming (ROP) attacks from within the guest VM. Additionally, the build improves nested virtualization —running a hypervisor inside a VM—by adding support for Intel’s VMCS shadowing and AMD’s nested page tables (NPT), allowing users to run WSL2, Hyper-V, or even another VMware instance inside a Workstation 17 VM with near-native performance.

The headline feature is robust support for Windows 11. Unlike previous versions, 17.0.0 includes a simplified mechanism to fulfill Windows 11 hardware requirements, including virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) support, allowing for seamless installation and deployment without complex workarounds. 2.
