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. 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 fuckery, but yeah I hope this makes it clearer why you got that result.
