How to enable Virtualization on Windows 11?

Hello Pay, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

As Virtualization is already enabled in the Bios I suggest you try the following;

Access the Control Panel and click on Uninstall a program;

Click on Turn Windows features on or off in the left menu;

Enable Hyper-V in the list of features and click OK to install;

Now the virtualization should work;

Hope this helps, see you soon!

 

HAV says virtualization disabled, I have enabled it in BIOS
