  1. windows crashes when enabling Virtual Machine Platform


    Hi all,


    I want to update WSL to WSL2. One of the steps is to enable a Virtual Machine Platform. When doing so, Windows asks for a restart and then crushes with the error. The only way to load Windows is to turn it on in the safe mode which turns off the Virtual Machine Platform feature. Is there any workaround for this problem? My Windows is updated to version 20H2, build 19042.685 and WSL uses Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.


    Sincerely Alex

    :)

  2. Can't enable"Virtual Machine Platform"

    I'm running Windows 10 on ASUS FX705DY AU072T.

    Windows doesn't boot after enabling "Virtual Machine Platform" and just shows a black screen after showing the windows 10 logo during boot.

    I've tried it on updated version 1909 and also after updating to version 19041.264 I can't use WSL 2 because of this.

    How can this be fixed?

  3. Enabling Virtual machine platform slows down windows VM

    I am trying to host Windows 10 enterprise 2004 on Kubernetes using kubevirt. I can host the instance and everything is working and fast when accessed remotely but when I enable Virtual machine platform the vm slows down significantly. Just enabling wsl does
    not seem to affect the instance, it is only when I try to enable wsl 2 for docker use by enabling Virtual machine platform.

    I have restarted the instance after turning on the feature.

    In the process tab I can see vmmem is using like 1.5G memory but I have given the instance 16G so I thought that should not be the issue.

    Some of the things I have tried to solve this:

    Optimized the vm using vmware optimizer tool.

    Only using RAM by disabling virtual memory.

    Please let me know where I can look to debug this. Or maybe some pointers as to what I might be doing wrong.

    Thank you!

    Enabling Virtual machine platform slows down windows VM

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the performance of Virtual Machine decreases when you enable Virtual Machine Platform on a PC running Windows 10 Enterprise.



    Since you’re using Windows 10 Enterprise with Kubernetes, we do have a dedicated forum where you should be able to find support for your query. Let me help you in pointing towards the right direction, I would suggest you to pot your query on
    TechNet forums, where we have support
    professionals with expertise on Enterprise Environment to assist you with your query.
