Windows 10: VM Vare Player not working

Actually player itself works but will not run any OS in it.

Hyper-V does not boot ISO image, but VMWare Player does

I have Win 10 pro with Hyper-V. I have created a new Generation 1 and Generation 2 VM and point the ISO image to boot. On connecting and starting either of the VMs (only 1 at a time), the only thing i see is Connecting to Yogesh-Linux (which is the name
of my VM). It does not go any further. I installed VMWare player and disabled Credential Guard as required by it and created a new VM pointing to the same ISO image. VMWare player was able to boot the image and complete the install of the Ubuntu Linux.

when notebook start Microsoft account login there vare not shown my account picture.Also in account setting option there not shown my administrator picture.Why?

 

Have you simply tried uninstalling and reinstalling latest version?

 

Yes of course I did. Downloaded very last version too. Now I don't know if it's due to this build or new HW.

 

Hard to say - only thing I can suggest is to create a virtual hard drive and clean install 1703 in it and see if that works, then try 1511 etc., trying older version of vmware etc. But hey - you are an expert so I am teling you to suck eggs. Maybe our resident vmware expert @jimbo could shed some light?

 

Ok, so very stupid happened. actually two of them. As it wouldn't work initially I turned on Hyper-V and Hypervisor and as it still wouldn't work I forgot about it. Than I thought that CPU virtualization wasn't enabled. Looked and looked thru BIOS (stupid UEFI) and couldn't find setting. At the end, just like any full blooded male person I resorted to humiliation and looked in the MB manual at last. That's where I found that they called it very (un)imaginative name "AVX" (without any explanation). It should have been enabled by default (as per manual) but it wasn't. I enabled it and than it wouldn't work until Hiper-V Hpervisor was turned. off but now VM works as advertised.

 

This thread from our sister site may be useful so you can use hyper-v or vmware.

Solved Hyper V and VMWare on the same machine


Out of interest, why are you using VMware over Hyper-V. Hyper-V does have one annoying restriction in that you cannot get sound in basic mode.

 

I'm used to it.
