Windows BareMetal detected 100% about vmaware HOT 1 CLOSED

Hello. I just compiled and tested VMAware. On my baremetal Windows11 machine, it detects "Microsoft Virtual PC/Hyper-V" with a 100% certainty.

Here are the checks, that flagged "detected": • Checking 0x4 leaf of VMID... • Checking RDTSC VMEXIT... • Checking VM directories... • Checking MMX instruction set...

I have HyperV, VM-Platform, Windows-Sandbox and WSL enabled. I also have docker desktop installed, if that helps.

Windows 11 has an obscure feature where applications are run inside Hyper-V by default, even on baremetal (only if Hyper-V is enabled). I've had people tell me this issue before but there's really nothing I can do, because it is in fact running inside a VM.

I'll update the CLI code so it has a note that addresses this confusing Hyper-V thing, but yeah I hope this makes it clearer why you got that result.

EDIT: I was spitting out bullshit apparently. Hyper-V doesn't do what i just described above. The result is due to Hyper-V leaving out artifacts of its VM to the host, making it seem like the host is a VM itself.

from vmaware.
