If you already added TPM to Windows 10 or 11: The following assumes you have not encrypted the VM further with BitLocker within Windows, if you have you may need to decrypt the drive first before performing the steps below. Fortunately, the flag also works in the free VMware Workstation Player. If you have been using a Windows 11 virtual machine in VMware Workstation Pro with TPM enabled, you will be used to having to set and enter a password for each encrypted VM, but with this update you can now remove the encryption and add in the software level TPM flag instead. It only encrypts enough for the "secure enclave", so perf should be way better, & no pwd. Instead of encrypting and adding the TPM, just add this VMX flag instead: Oh but you should try this new experimental and currently undocumented feature.
