Windows 10: Strange Problem: PhotoApp crashes host system but runs fine in hyper-v

I have Photoshop Elements running fine in a Hyper-v image, but the application crashes (reboots) Win 10 1809 in graphic intensive conditions when running in the HOST system. It's most likely related to GPU since it is not enabled in hyper-v. There is much less allocated memory in hyper-v, but the app runs fine.

I have turned off the graphics processor in both Nvidia and within the application, but the crashes in the HOST persists. The event viewer logs the system restart, but nothing is logged prior to the crash. It's not a video driver issue since in hyper-v the app works perfectly. One difference with the host: the hyper-v system has no internet switches installed.

What could be causing this very weird behavior?

Forgot to add: The hyper-v system is identical to the host system -- it was created using Macrium.

Hyper V deativication

Hi Geoffrey,

Hyper-V lets you run an operating system or computer system as a virtual machine on Windows. Before proceeding in disabling
Hyper-V, please create a backup of your files for security purposes.

To disable Hyper-V, please follow the steps below:

• On the Cortana search box, type Turn Windows Features on or off and press
  Enter.
• Look for the Hyper-V folder.
• Uncheck the tick-box next to the main Hyper-V folder and click
  OK.
• Restart your PC.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.

 

Hyper-V, Windows 10 and Transfers

I upgraded my Windows 10 Home recently to Windows 10 Pro to use Hyper-V for legacy software. I set up Hyper-V without too much difficulty, installed Windows XP as the operating system, and everything operated fine. Then I discovered Hyper-V seems to be
user-hostile when it comes to transferring files from the host PC to the VM. Most of the help I found on the internet was highly technical and/or written several years ago when Hyper-V rolled out on Windows 8 or 8.1.

Microsoft's VPC 2007 was a wonderful, intuitive piece of software. I miss it. Do you have step-by-step instructions in simple English for configuring Hyper-V to share documents with the host PC, and vice versa? Do you have any insight whether a simplified
fix is coming in the near future?

 

Resetting a Windows 10 that hosts a VM using Hyper-V

My Windows 10 Pro that I use to host a virtual machine using Hyper-V had a windows update failure and is unable to boot. I have tried to system restore with no success and also startup repair with no success. My next step was to try to reset the PC and
I would like to know if resetting the PC will delete my Hyper-V virtual machine?
