  2. Enabling Hyper-V bricks Windows

    A while ago I posted a question about WSL2 not working on Windows 11: Redirecting. It turns out, WSL2 requires Hyper-V enabled (even though it isn't stated anywhere).

    So now I have discovered a new (actually very old) issue, enabling Hyper-V and SVM (in BIOS) bricks Windows. I have now reverted back to Windows 10, though the behavior is same on both versions (since Windows 11 is just Windows 10 under the hood). Here's what happens:

    • Only Hyper-V Enabled = Boots fine
    • Only SVM Enabled = Boots fine
    • Hyper-V + SVM Enabled = Black screen or BSOD at boot
    The BSOD, that appears sometimes (only Black screen most of the times), gives some insight, the error code is : 0xc0000098, caused by the BCD. Setting hypervisorlaunchtype to off in BCD (I can get to CMD through Safe Mode) "fixes" the booting issue, but it disables Hyper-V, so it is not a real fix for this problem.

    I have found multiple forum posts discussing the same issue dating back to 2015, since the release of Windows 10, the final verdict being that this is a bug that needs to be resolved. But after 6 years and a new Windows release, the bug still exists.

    Links to some forum posts, this is not an exhaustive list, just the first few I could find on a google search about this topic:

    Windows does not boot after the Windows Hypervisor Platform is enabled - Microsoft Community

    The computer does not boot if Hyper-V is enabled on Windows 10 pro (microsoft.com)

    WSL2 not working after Hyper-V installation

    I have already tried to reinstall WSL2, unfortunately that does nothing, WSA ( Windows Subsystem for Android ) does not work after Hyper-V installation either.
