Windows 10: Hyper-V Manager won't connect to local computer (error message)

System specs are below. Virtualization is turned on in BIOS. Hyper-V is installed.

When I start Hyper-V Manager it's not connected to a server. I click Connect to Server->Local Computer and get the error message (see below).

I can see none of the Hyper-V services are running. If I try starting Hyper-V VM Session Service manually, I get the error shown below.

Any ideas how to get Hyper-V up and running? Thanks in advance for any ideas/help.

Windows 10 Virtual Machine

I'm trying to set up a virtual machine to connect to my computer. I've got Hyper-V Manager running but when I try to connect to my local computer I get an error message and I'm told to check that the virtual machine management service is running. I can't
find where this is. I've tried to start several of the services entitled 'Hyper-V ******' but all stop immediately. Any help will be most appreciated. Incidentally I'm not exactly 'tech savvy'

 

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.

 

You have a Core 2 Duo E7300 processor. Unfortually, this processor does not support Second Level Address Translation or Intel Virtualization Technology, so you can't run Client Hyper-V (ie Window 8 or Windows 10 Hyper-V).

Intel Core2 Duo E7300

While your BIOS supports turning on Virtualization, your Processor does not.

 

You misread the CPU model. It's an Intel Core 2 E7600 processor. It does support Intel Virtualization.

/* EDIT */
Ahhh, but on further reading, and as you mention, Hyper-V SLAT (Second Level Address Translations Extensions) is also required (though not often mentioned).

So, I'd call this a bug. Windows 8 returns an installation error message if SLAT isn't supported. Win 10 Preview does not.

 

Sorry, yeah, I misread that number. But, as you have found out, it still won't work because of a lack of SLAT. Strangely, SLAT is only required in the Desktop OS version, not in the Server version.

It may be that MS intended to remove SLAT restrictions for Windows 10, but it hasn't yet (or just didn't) make it into the build. Or it may be, as you say, a bug in detecting SLAT for Desktops.
