VMware Workstation does not support virtualized performance counters on this host. Refer to VMware KB article 81623 at https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/81623 for more details.

This error is referring to the system that Workstation is running on. What hardware platform are you using where VMware Workstation is installed? Does the CPU support hyperthreading? If so, is it enabled in the BIOS?

That means Hyper-V or any component that turns on Hyper-V such as WSL2, VBS, Application Guard, Kernel DMA protection is enabled on the Windows host.

You can refer to this lengthy post on how to remove most of the components.

Kernel DMA Protection needs to be turned off at the host UEFI.
