All right! After you’re basically done with the virtual machine configuration, everything should work great. But things don’t go always as expected. When you switch on the machine, you’ll see a lovely screen with an error that points to “The CPU have been disabled by default. Power off or reset the virtual machine”. Here’s How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS

While Windows computer isn’t the default system to install macOS. The important thing is, Apple doesn’t support installing macOS on non-Apple hardware and is neither willing to do. But that’s not the only one who does this. Perhaps, when we use the patch for VMware, that is because, unlike VirtualBox, VMware Workstation Player doesn’t support installing macOS by default. In this case, when you try to install macOS on VMware without the patch, you’ll end up without installing.

Since installing macOS, whatever version isn’t the supported way, there will be likely problems messing around. Whether you’ve an Intel or AMD processor, you’ll probably need to play the tricky steps. But if you’re installing Mojave on an AMD system, you’ll need to pull off a few more steps including the actual steps which are for both processors. This is a tiny change but really matters. How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS

There are several reasons which might cause the problem. The first one is that you may have not configured the virtual machine for your AMD system. While AMD systems are different from Intel ones, we will need to use the different config key for setting up correctly. The other reason that the error can pop up is if you’ve installed the VMware or VirtualBox while the Hyper-v is installed.

While this problem usually happens when installing macOS on VMware, so we will take a look at How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS

Change The VM Hardware Compatibility to 10.x

All the usual installing steps are important, but you need to perform some more steps in addition to them. The nice thing is, it’s all done from the vmx file. There are two ways you do get it done. The first way you could do it is from the VMware with the wizard. The other way you could do is from the vmx file. We’ll move with the easier one. This is simple as we have covered you with every step with shots.  Here’s how to do it real quick. How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS

Go ahead and navigate to the virtual machine files. Now right click on the .vmx file and select Open with and choose Notepad.

Open VMX with Notepad
Open VMX with Notepad

When the file opened, change the version number to 10. It will change the virtual machine hardware compatibility to 10.

If you miss changing the hardware compatibility of the machine from VMware, you’ll likely encounter this problem.

Add The Config Key For The Virtual Machine (For AMD Systems Only)

Now without closing the .vmx file, copy the following code and paste it at the end of all lines. If you’ve the config key smc.version = 0 already there, you may remove it and paste this in place of it. It should look like this.

cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”

When you’re done with it, simply save it.

And you’re all set! All there’s left to do is switch the machine on and proceed with the installation.

Managed to get it working on VMWare 16.0 & a 3700X after looking at the vmware logs for a bit.

Several issues:

1) Ensure you are using normal double-quotes. When copying and pasting it’ll use pretty quotes but vmware will complain (not a valid boolean, etc.)

2) Disabling featureCompat.enable is only supported on hardware versions less than 9. Change that to TRUE (probably can just delete but haven’t tested that yet)

3) cpuid.ss & cpuid.ds are no longer supported on the cpus so need to be removed from the enabled features. Change cpuid.1.edx line to

“0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”

4) With those changes I was then able to bump the virtualHW.version back up to 16.

    for me this worked: (AMD Ryzen 7 7480HS)
    1. install the most recent python version on https://www.python.org/downloads/
    – I installed 3.12.1, and make sure your cmd is recognizing it by running “python –version” in your cmd.
    2. install the most recent unlocker on https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker/releases/tag/3.0.5 (i installed 3.0.5)

    3. go the .vmx file
    – change:
    virtualHW.version = “X” to virtualHW.version = “16”

    – change usb settings to 3.1 or just add:
    usb_xhci.present = “TRUE”

    – also add this:

    smc.version = “0”
    cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”

    Note: I have made several different hardware versions from 21 to 10 and still work.

    I am doing a test to try to repair an old iMac of the year 2010, and I need the virtual machine to work so I had to download the original Apple ISO, with the old Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (totally legal with the iso of the manufacturer downloaded of the Apple technical support website). I understand that it is an old operating system that can have problems in the VMware, although it serves it but with the AMD processor they give it problems that when it starts, the message that asks you to restart the virtual machine appears and that is a failure of the image , but the failure really came from a possible processor panic (debugger panic). I have made the Unlocker update to the last most recent version so far, it is 4.2.7, although I also tried the previous 3.0.5 to recognize the list of Apple operating systems in VMware.

    I have seen the YouTube videos and it is seen that it is worked, even if it seems a lie. Therefore, I was tried in many ways and please, I need help as soon as possible.

    Thank you very much and greetings to all.

    This is the error message:

    AMD-V might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.

    (1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable AMD-V.

    (2) Power-cycle the host if this BIOS/firmware setting has been changed.

    But I changed the the processor number and cores per processor to “1” in VM settings.
    And it’s quite slow and takes hours to install.

    It didn’t work when i was trying with macOS Ventura, try macOS Monterey.
    I made sure that i used normal double-quotes after copy-paste.

    I would like to install on my laptop: ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon Graphic and 32 gigram
    Anyone to test?
    If I want to use it with a DAW like LUNA UAD or logicPro, does it work? Will it recognize my UAD sound card?
    Or should I buy a MAC?

    Thanks !!!

        Roselei, had same issue, you have to change virtualHW.version line at the top (not append to bottom), then add the rest of the lines marble specified.

    It worked for me too, tho this is Laptop specs:
    AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics
    16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable) DDR4
    and i am running Windows 11 Pro.
    Using the settings you mentioned :
    Then changed the Version from 16 to 10
    Then added the following (Because i have an AMD CPU):
    cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
    cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
    cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
    cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”
    cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001”

    featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”

    I will also add some additional problems i did run into before i get this to work. I’ve had problems with input, my mouse wouldn’t work as well as my keyboard, what i did is i’ve made sure in preferences where is optimize for gaming option i set this to “Never” and as well i changed my usb version from 1.1 to 2.0. This made the vm work normally, for those who have problems please do those steps.

    I hope i did help some people.

      Worked on AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with the exact same steps.
      If the installation is interrupted by a mouse and keyboard icon it is because you didn’t change the usb version to 2.0.
      My installation took 2h15 so be patient.

    Hi,

    Using AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon Graphics 1.70 GHz. Got the vm to install until after it rebooted from the “Less than a minute remaining” phase and after that starts to boot with Apple logo and either fails a quarter of the way, or shows a strange black and white graphic of an Apple Mouse, etc.

    Hi, thanks for this Lifesaver post. I got it Up & running in vmWare 17.0.1, keeping the HV version in 20:
    AMD Ryzen 5900X

    Steps:
    – Kept virtualHW.version = “20”
    – Replace copy pastes quotes
    – Change USB version from 1.1 to 2.0 in VMWare VM settings (it started to boot, but gave me this two screens after initial apple logo: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B6vzNm.jpg , https://i.stack.imgur.com/YTsC8m.jpg)
    – EOF settings:
    smc.version = “0”
    cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
    cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
    cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
    cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”
    cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001”
    cpuid.1.ebx = “0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000”
    cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
    cpuid.1.edx = “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”

      This got the installation under way for me, on a Ryzen 5 2500U. Many thanks! On the first attempt it got as far as selecting the disk to install on, but no disk was shown. On the second attempt I went into Disk Utility and found that it wasn’t formatted. After doing that, it was available for the installation which went ahead smoothly.

    VMWARE Workstation 16.1

    PD: dont change virtual cpu count, keep 1 core and 2 threads.

    For my AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
    Ofcourse DOUG’s insights helped, so thank you.

    My end of VMX file-

    cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
    cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
    cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”

    cpuid.1.edx = “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”

    REMOVED featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
    Bumped the virtualHW.version back up to 16.
    And macOS Big Sur Beta fired up.
    Wanted to share what worked for me so it helps others.

    I followed the steps and it didn’t work for meat first. what i will say is the steps resolve most of my issues. I got stuck at the “How to Fix This virtual machine requires AVX2 but AVX is not present” I resolve that by click the link above that talks about the issues. The resolution for that was change virtual hardware version to 10.

    nothing else nothing more I have lost hope after trying for days to get big sur on vmware, i even read that it won’t happen if I have an APU, low and behold I couldn’t believe it when I saw the installation going on!
    Quick question: I noticed that the sound while playing a youtube video is choppy, having never dealt with a mac before is there a driver fix perhaps for this?

      These changes are primary for AMD users to fool MacOS into thinking that an AMD CPU is an Intel CPU.

      In particular, the cpuid.0.eax line specifices a Nehalem-based processor, and other the cpuid.0.* lines spell out ‘GenuineIntel’. The cpuid.1.* lines are used to specify particular features. In your case, you’ve turned on the bits that tell the VM your CPU supports pclmulqdq, ssse3, sse41, sse42 & aes but when VMWare tries to validate that it determines that your physical CPU doesn’t actually support those features.

      Most likely your CPU is too old to support running the newer MacOS versions. Sorry.

    Managed to get it working on VMWare 16.0 & a 3700X after looking at the vmware logs for a bit.

    Several issues:

    1) Ensure you are using normal double-quotes. When copying and pasting it’ll use pretty quotes but vmware will complain (not a valid boolean, etc.)

    2) Disabling featureCompat.enable is only supported on hardware versions less than 9. Change that to TRUE (probably can just delete but haven’t tested that yet)

    3) cpuid.ss & cpuid.ds are no longer supported on the cpus so need to be removed from the enabled features. Change cpuid.1.edx line to

    “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”

    4) With those changes I was then able to bump the virtualHW.version back up to 16.

      This worked for me on Ryzen 3950x, using the same CPU id keys.

      Seconding, if you’re copy/pasting to notepad, make sure you edit the quotes, as their character string on this website is not a regular quote. Delete them and re-enter the proper keyboard quote key for each one.

    Then added the following (Because i have an AMD CPU):

    “Failed to start the virtual machine.” (no more explanation). What can I do?
    Regarding “feature cpuid.ss was absent” and the like, beware that the lines that you have to add have the wrong quotations. For example:
    featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
    Should be:
    featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
    Same goes for CPUID lines, although they wont give you errors.
