Windows 10: Hyper-V Manager not available

Hi there,

1. I installed the Hyper-V features (tickmarked all 4 options) and rebooted my system. (My system did some installation, updates etc)
2. After the reboot i can confirm that the hyper-v folders in "C:\Program Files\Hyper-V" appeared.
3. Unfortunately i can not find the hyper-v manager.

Can you please help me? See screenshot for some details.

System information:
- Windows 10 Pro 64bit
- Virtualization in BIOS is activated

:)

 

Where is the Hyper V Manager, How to I start it ?

1) Where the Hyper-V Manager is

The Hyper-V Manager is under Windows Administrative Tools on your Start Menu.

2) How to start the Hyper-V Manager

Simply click on the Hyper-V Manager icon under Windows Administrative Tools.. That starts the Hyper-V Manager.

Then in the top right of the Manager page you will see "Connect to Server." Click that and choose "Local Computer" for the server. The "Action" pane (the right side of the Manager page) will then populate and you can proceed.

 

Hyper-V on Windows Home Edition?

Hummm..... Hyper-V should only be available on 64bit versions of Pro, Enterprise, and Education

Are you looking at the list of "features" and seeing it on the list? It could be that it's just the "management tools" portions of Hyper-V that are available?

 

If installed, the Hyper-V Manager can be found from the Start Menu > All Apps > W > Windows Administrative Tools.

Alternatively you can find it using the File Explorer and browsing to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools. Notice that the ProgramData folder is hidden by default.

 

that was easy! Thank you!

Strange that Windows 10 is not showing it when just typing it into the "start-search"!
