I can't program FPGA with linux command line mode

i installed ubuntu 18.04+virtualbox on my windows 10 laptop, and then installed Quartus prime pro 20.1 linux version.

with above environment, I can download the FPGA successfully via the quartus programmer tools. but when i tried below instruction in linux command line mode, 

quartus_pgm -c 1 -m jtag -o "p;$SOCEDS_DEST_ROOT/examples/hardware/a10_soc_devkit_ghrd/output_files/ghrd_10as066n2.sof"

it failed and error information is as below:

Error (20910): The host CPU is not supported in this version of the Intel Quartus Prime software. Intel requires that you upgrade to a more recent processor that supports SSE 4.2 and the POPCNT instruction

so, with the same configuration and the same target board, why i can't use the command line mode?

please help me to solve it. thanks in advance.

    after my test, to avoid above error, beow red highlighted items in windows features shall be unchecked.

    after unchecking the items, the quartus_pgm can download the sof to FPGA without error.
