[Feature]: Bypassing application VM detection #1550

@martiinii

Description

@martiinii

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Few applications I would like to run on Windows have VM detection. When those apps are run, they show error dialog with This Application cannot run under a Virtual Machine. There are few bypass solutions that could be enabled/configured with docker args.

One could argue, why not just use Windows without VM?
Many applications made for car workshops are made for XP only, Win 7 only, they sometimes provide backwards compatibility, but most of the times you end up with 2/3 different Windows version at once - VMs make it easy to switch between them.

Describe the solution you'd like.

More OS configuration to bypass VM detection functions.
I'm new into VMs, but from what I've researched, VirtualBox, Proxmox and others allow us to configure OS in a way that could possibly trick many detection functions.

Proxmox:

VirtualBox:

Qemu:

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Switching to other VM or ditching them all together for multi boot with N Windows versions
