This patch fundamentally alters Safe Exam Browser's perception, preventing it from recognizing when it operates within a VMware or virtual machine environment. Without applying this patch, the software fails to load within a virtual machine. To successfully run SEB in a virtual environment, you need to follow these steps:

1. Install VMware Player.
2. Create a Windows virtual machine within VMware Player.
3. Install Safe Exam Browser within the Windows virtual machine.
4. Apply this patch to ensure proper functionality.

By following this process, you can seamlessly use Safe Exam Browser within a virtual machine environment.

Yes you can use Windows 11. I just provided Windows 10 LTSC since it's very lightweight.

and if possible ciould you help with the recommended part i didnt foudn that eithe rit wasnt in the document part of my pc

Could you explain a bit more? If you meant this: C:\Program Files\SafeExamBrowser\Application, you'll see that only after installing Safe Exam Browser initially

[verjammt]

in you README document theres a part called RECOMMENDED when i searched for tha ti ddint find where to edit this code

[nxvvvv]

Ah, I understand now. Essentially, you need to complete the full OS installation. After that, navigate to the 'Documents' folder and then proceed to 'Virtual Machines.' You should find the newly installed Windows there. If the folder is named 'LTSC,' simply open that folder, and the VMX file you need to check will be named 'LTSC.vmx.'

[verjammt]

oh so i do that after i did everything you said before

[nxvvvv]

[nxvvvv]

check that part for the location. go there and edit it

[nxvvvv]

Is everything working? May I close the discussion? @verjammt
