VMDetect is part of the initial F1 startup process and is responsible for detecting if the CoreGUI Instance is running under a Hypervisor or is a Virtual Machine.
VMDetect cannot be launched manually, however the dialog box can be made present again if disabled and running under a virtual machine.
- By modifying the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CoreGUI\inf, setting disVM to 0 (Enterprise Versions only)
- By deleting the file C:\CGUI\disVM.cgui
