    What Windows features you turn off?

    We all know that Windows (XP, Vista or 7) has many features bundled within. Some of them are neat but a lot is really not necessary.

    Making Windows lean and mean is what most of us look for. I'm not talking about Vlited barebone install here.

    Basicaly, it's a fresh install followed by some tweaking and turning off some unwanted features.

    For my part, this is what i turn off:

    Indexing
    Built-in Defrag
    Error Reporting
    Remote Assistance
    System Restore
    Hibernation
    Gadget Sidebar
    Welcome center
    Sound sheme

    Except for XPS Viewer, everything else is turned off in "Windows Features" in the uninstall section of Vista.

    This is not counting some disabled services.

    So what do you have turned off?

    Cannot turn off Hyper V, cannot run Virtual Box machines or VMWare machines

    Since the latest update:

    Edition: Windows 10 Pro

    Verion: 1607

    OS Build: 14393.222

    I can no longer turn off Hyper V and thus cannot run Virtual Box machines or VMware machines.

    When I attempt to turn off Hyper V and restart Windows as requested, Windows simply re-enables Hyper V.

    Then when I try to run a Virtual Box machine, I get an error like this:

    Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Centos 70.

    VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

    Result Code:

    Component:
    ConsoleWrap

    Interface:
    IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

    When I try to start a VMware machine, I get this:

    VMware Player and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Player.

    But as I have noted, I am not able to turn off Hyper-V since the Anniversary Update.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
