VMware issue, machine will not boot up

Last week I was using VMware Workstation Pro (Registered) 15 and it was working seamlessly. But now this week rolls around and I try to boot up on of my ubuntu machines and I get this error: 

This virtual machine failed to switch to 64 bit mode. This failure might be due to a lack of available memory on the host.

Module 'Monitor' power on failed.

Failed to start the virtual machine

In a little popup box. And when I ran this, the ubuntu machine only needed 700 mb of ram. I have 11 GB free. But then it says monitor module can't power on, I tried messing with those settings and still nothing worked.

The reason that I am on StackOverFlow is because when I tried to find support on VMwares website, I found nothing at all.

In my case, I disabled the 'Windows Hypervisor' and 'Virtual Machine Platform' in 'Windows Features', after restart the error disappeared.
