Error: Module 'Monitor' power on failed. Failed to start the virtual machine.

Hello,

Edit:

I did install Valorant before having the problem.

So I have been trying to create virtual machine with VMware workstation 15 pro and was not able to power it on.

Here is the message I get when i use "power on this virtual machine":

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.

I am using:

- Ubuntu LTS 18.04 iso

My computer has:

- Windows 10 Education

- 16Gb RAM

- More than 100Gb of free space (hard disk)

- Motherboard: an asrock phantom

- CPU: amd ryzen 5 3600x

- Antivirus: Windows defender

I have tried:

- Rebooting

- Updating windows (normal updates)

- Keeping the default parameters while creating the vm

- Limiting the RAM to 250mb

- limiting the hard disk to 1Gb

- Checking that SVM and SMT are enabled for virtualization in the Bios

- Using VMware workstation Player 15, same issue

- Using virtualbox with the same configuration, it is working

- enabling/disablings Windows Hyper-V

- Disabling windows defender my firewalls

Here is my vmware.log file:
