Cannot remove Hyper V Hypervisor from Windows 11 Home

I have a need to use Intel's VT-x for a program, and the Hyper V Hypervisor is interfering with the program.  Through other programs I know my processor supports VT-x and it is enabled in my BIOS.  I have removed Hyper V and other Virtualization options by the "Turn Off Windows Features" app, but there is still a hypervisor present when I check the System Information app.  Therefore, VT-x is disabled and I can't run the program I need.  Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.
