VBS does not require nested virtualization support. It can work in Guest mode too. But you will need a hypervisor that can

1) Expose Virtual Trust Levels (VTLs) interfaces (which do not exist other than HyperV) OR

2) Create a VM with nested virtualization support

 There is no need to create a nested VM in the VM

Okay. For Example:
VMware ESXi 8.0 Hypervisor >> Win11 VMs >> Citrix 7 VDA LTSR >> GPO "Turn On VBS" = Enabled

With this configuration, we get the following error during gpupdate:

{F312195E-3D9D-447A-A3F5-08DFFA24735E} failed due to the error listed below.
A hypervisor feature is not available to the user.

Why do we get this error?
Is it because the option "Virtualization Based Security" = Disabled in vSphere?
