Windows 10: Struggling to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10 with AMD Ryzen: "A hypervisor has been detected"

• Gigabyte Aorus X470 Gaming 7 WIFI
• AMD Ryzen 2700X
• Windows 10 64-bit v. 1903
• BIOS F31
• AMD Chipset driver v. 19

I have enabled SVM in the BIOS (which is a Gigabyte term for virtualization). I have installed Hyper-V in Windows features.

I'm running msinfo32 and expect to see four items related to Hyper-V. Instead, I see: "A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed."

How do I enable Hyper-V??

PS My goal is to run Docker natively, without VirtualBox. When I try to setup Kinematic, it says:

Can Hyper-V run on AMD Ryzen processors?

Is it possible to run Hyper-V under Windows 10 on AMD Ryzen processors (specifically a 1600)

Windows allowed me to install the Hyper-V service and create guests, but trying to start a guest produces the following error -

Looking around the net I don't seem to be able to find any firm confirmation.

 

Even after Uninstalling Hyper-V - msinfo32 shows "A hypervisor has been detected"

Hi,

I'm running into a weird issue on my Lenovo Z51 laptop. Its equipped with an intel i7 processor and is running Windows 10 Pro (Build 14393).

I had Hyper-V installed on this laptop with all kinds of VMs running for a while. Then I got a VMware license and decided to uninstall Hyper-V. I uninstalled Hyper-V by going to "Turn Windows Features on or off", unchecking all options under Hyper-V and
then rebooting the machine on the prompt. After the reboot, I installed VMware but when I try to start the VMs, it gives me an error that Hyper-V is still running.

In the "Turn Windows Features on or off", the box for Hyper-V is unchecked. However, when I look at msinfo32 it still says>>

"A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed."

Coreinfo.exe says the same thing:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz

Intel64 Family 6 Model 61 Stepping 4, GenuineIntel

Microcode signature: 00000021

HYPERVISOR * Hypervisor is present

VMX - Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization

EPT - Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)

I did a lot of hunting and already tried the below assuming some corruption:

"SFC /scannow" & reboot,

"dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" & reboot

"bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off & reboot

None of these worked.

Why does it say the hypervisor is present when I have uninstalled Hyper-V ? What can I do to fix this and run VMware ?

Sounds like you have the Hyper-V management software running, but the underlying Hyper-V infrastructure is not running. Hyper-V is a type-1 hypervisor, so the software that you're using in Windows is just a console; the actual Hyper-V important stuff is loaded before your OS loads.

1. Be sure SVM is enabled in BIOS. You should verify it is on in BIOS, but also in Task Manager ... click the Performance tab, click the CPU, and in the bottom-right area, you'll see "Virtualization:" ... make sure it says "Enabled". If it says "Disabled", and you have SVM enabled in BIOS, then I'm not sure what your issue is.
   
2. If virtualization wasn't enabled, or it disabled itself somewhere along the way, you might have to uninstall Hyper-V and reinstall it. This I'm not sure about, but if you turn off SVM and try to boot to a virtualized system, Windows PROBABLY uninstalls it and makes the host OS just a simple installation of Windows. I'd doubt it will re-enable it acutomatically, which might be the situation you're in.
   

I've been running Hyper-V on my Ryzen system (Gigabtye B350 board) for about 3 months. Everything works awesome EXCEPT you can't run x86 versions of Windows in virtual machines; there is a VME bug that AMD claims to have fixed, but they didn't.

Edit: As well, make sure you don't have any other virtualization software running on your system; these can create a litany of weird issues.
