Windows 10: A hypervisor feature is not available to the user.

I got an error on gpupdate /force as below on my workstation which is Windows 10 Enterprise version 1803.

{F312195E-3D9D-447A-A3F5-08DFFA24735E} failed due to the error listed below.

A hypervisor feature is not available to the user.

It is my understanding that hypervisor is feature to install/manage multiple OS in one workstation. Actually I only install one Windows 10 to my workstation. I am not sure it is related to hypervisor or not, but I connect to virtual server from my workstation over VMware VSphere, but the virtual server is not installed on my workstation. It is running on other physical servers in the same network.


The error above is showed up when I executed gpupdate /force on my windows 10 workstation. What kind of action I should take to fix the error? Any advice will be appreciated..

How to disable hypervisor after uninstalling Sandbox feature?

Hi, maybe someone can suggest something beside installing and uninstalling hyper-v feature. I didn't have time to try it yet, don't currently have access to PC in question.

So, I installed win10 1903 and enabled that new Sandbox feature to see how it works. After the end of test I removed it, but hypervisor it installed is still enabled on system.

Task manager shows 'Virtualization: enabled', systeminfo says 'A hypervisor has been detected' and vmware player won't start.

So now I need to somehow manually uninstall this hypervisor, any ideas? Going through anything remotely connected to windows features (dism, powershell) is no go since Hyper-V feature isn't installed so there's nothing to uninstall

 

How to disable hypervisor after uninstalling Sandbox feature?

No, it's Pro version still unactivated. I just installed it on spare PC to get a look at Sandbox feature and what I can do with it.

Probably it would be easier if I just describe the steps I took:

1. Created ISO with media builder 1903

2. Installed from this on clean system, deleting and recreating all disk partitions

3. Created a local user account on first start, logged in with it

4. In windows features scrolled down to Windows Sandbox and checked only it, Hyper-V features are available but I didn't check them for install

5. Reboot

6. Did few tests with the sandbox app, ran couple of programs in it, confirmed for myself that it uses Hyper-V technology for virtualization (first symptom - any other 3rd party virtualization software won't run, same error as when Hyper-V feature is installed,
this is known problem with HV in windows 10)

7. Finished with tests, removed Windows Sandbox from Features. Hyper-V feature still wasn't enabled in list of features, only Windows Sandbox was.

8. Reboot

9. Logged in, discovered I still cannot run VmWare and hypervisor is still enabled.

Currently both Hyper-V and Windows Sandbox are disabled/not installed in Windows Features window but the virtualization is enabled on the system. So I think I need to manually 'switch it off' or something.

As I wrote earlier, maybe installing and uninstalling Hyper-V would help, I just thought maybe there is a fast way to disable it in command line or registry
