Windows 10: Why does Windows 10 Pro v1809 build 17763.503 keep turning off Hyper-V Virtualization...

Hardware - HP Elite SFF 8300, i5-3470 cpu, 32GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive.

OS - Windows 10 Pro v1809 build 17763.503


I enabled Virtualization in BIOS. I save and exit. I soft power down PC. I boot up, immediately go into BIOS and setting is enabled. I then reboot PC into OS.


Trying to start a VM. I am unable to start a VM. I get Error message says - ' hypervisor is not running '


Run System Information and check - shows Hyper-V - Virtualization Enabled in Firmware No


bcdedit shows - hypervisorlaunchtype is set to auto

services.msc shows - Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management is running


spent some time doing google searches. did not find a solution that worked on this box.


Questions:

1. Why does Windows 10 Pro keep changing BIOS settings ?

2. Is there a way to prevent Windows 10 Pro FROM changing BIOS settings. ( does this with WOL settings, also)

3. Is there a way to run a VM with my config ?


I hope I have explained problem well enough.


Thanks in Advance..

Windows 10 x64 v1809 - Hyper-V Virtual Switch Manager Unable to Create Default Switch

After upgrading to v1809 from v1803, I turned Hyper-V feature Off then On.

Since the upgrade, the Default Switch no longer exists and the Virtual Switch Manager is unable to crate it automatically as it would normally. I can see the Default Switch appear for a few seconds in the Network Adapters, then its gone. This happens
several time whenever I launch the Virtual Switch Manager.

I can create other virtual switches.

Once the Virtual Switch Manager lists the Default Switch with a Load Failed message.

I have used netcfg -d command to delete all adapters and Turned Hyper-V feature Off/On several times with no success.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks

 

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

I am trying to setup an XP virtual Machine on Windows 10 Pro.

I followed the steps in Neil Peterson article of 5/9/2016.

System Requirements - done - ok

Install Hyper-V - done - ok

Create a Virtual Switch - skip

Create a Virtual Machine

Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager

These steps walk through how to manually create a virtual machine and deploy an operating system to this virtual machine.

• 
  In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New >
  Virtual Machine to bring up the New
  

Uhhhhhhhhh - this step obviously implies one knows

1) Where the Hyper-V Manager is

2) How to start the Hyper-V Manager

Isn't that odd ?

 

Cannot turn off Hyper V, cannot run Virtual Box machines or VMWare machines

Since the latest update:

Edition: Windows 10 Pro

Verion: 1607

OS Build: 14393.222

I can no longer turn off Hyper V and thus cannot run Virtual Box machines or VMware machines.

When I attempt to turn off Hyper V and restart Windows as requested, Windows simply re-enables Hyper V.

Then when I try to run a Virtual Box machine, I get an error like this:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Centos 70.

VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

Result Code:

Component:
ConsoleWrap

Interface:
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

When I try to start a VMware machine, I get this:

VMware Player and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Player.

But as I have noted, I am not able to turn off Hyper-V since the Anniversary Update.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
