    Help with this error: "this application cannot run within a virtual machine"


    I was trying to play some games on my PC and I run a software which I have used many times before now and it worked just as intended but suddenly today 12/07/2020 when I try to run the software it sends me an error message. Help with this error: "this application cannot run within a virtual machine" dfd972d2-0d3c-4f47-a656-e1949b0ad2f5?upload=true.png

    Now yes it is a .dll file and I trust the source of the file.


    What have I tried:


    I have tried system restore and it didn't work.


    And I went and did some research on the error and found some fix about hyper-v but for me when I try to do it, that option is not selected, it is already unchecked.


    Additional Info..


    I don't know why i am getting this error because I wasn't even using a virtual machine.

    :)

    BSOD when launching Virtual Machine

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate your effort on this. I understand how difficult it could be when the computer doesn’t work as it is supposed to, we will look into this for you. Please reply with the following details to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting
    steps:



    • Which application are you using to create Virtual Machine?
    • Does the issue occur only when launching a Virtual Machine?
    • Have you reinstalled Windows on the computer?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?


    I have analyzed the dump files shared by you. Since the issue occurs when you launch Virtual Machine, I suggest you to try disabling the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type services.msc and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Look for the VMWare USB Arbitration Service and double click on it to open
      Properties.
    4. Select Disabled from the drop down for
      Startup and Stop the service.
    5. Click on Apply and OK.


    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

  4. Help with this error: "this application cannot run within a virtual machine"

    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.
