Turn off Hyper-v

ShadowTiger95 — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 19:36:01 GMT

I have tried to turn off Hyper-V many times however, no matter what I do, when I go into system info section, it still says a hypervisor has been detected. Does anyone know how to disable Hyper-V or tell me why Hyper-V won't turn off. I am running VMWare Workstation Pro 17 on a Windows 11 21H2 build.

In Windows, open Turn Windows Features On or Off and make sure any Windows feature that is virtualization or Hyper-V related is unchecked.

Disable Memory Integrity/VBS settings by opening the Windows settings, opening Windows Security -> Device Security -> Core Isolation and turn off the "Memory Integrity" slider

Disable any Hyper-V activity by opening a command prompt as administrator and executing bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

(You may need to disable Secure Boot from your EFI firmware temporarily to do this)

Hello everyone,

I encountered the same issue with Windows 10 22H2. I disabled the following Windows features:

Hyper-V
Windows Hypervisor Platform
Virtual Machine Platform

I executed the command

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

and I also disabled "Turn On Virtualization Based Security" in the Group Policies (Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Device Guard)

Hyper-V is still running ... What has windows done ...
