Hypervisor still detected even after disabling Hyper-V, VBS, and all related features (Windows 11)

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing an issue where virtualization / hypervisor features remain active on my system, even after attempting to fully disable them.

System:

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT
• Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO
• OS: Windows 11

❗ Problem description

Even after multiple attempts to disable Hyper-V and related features, my system still reports that a hypervisor is active.

For example:

• Running systeminfo shows:
• “A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.”
• In System Information:
• “Virtualization-based security: Running”

Additionally:

• Some applications and Android emulators detect Hyper-V as enabled
• Behavior suggests that virtualization is still active at system level

🔧 Troubleshooting steps already performed

I have tried all of the following:

Windows Features

• Disabled:
  • Hyper-V
  • Virtual Machine Platform
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform
  • Windows Sandbox
  • Windows Subsystem for Linux

Boot configuration

• Executed:bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off bcdedit /set vsmlaunchtype off

Windows Security

• Disabled:
  • Core Isolation
  • Memory Integrity

Services

• Stopped and disabled:
  • hvhost
  • vmcompute

BIOS changes

• Enabled SVM (virtualization)
• Disabled IOMMU
• Disabled Secure Boot (for testing)

Other steps

• Full shutdown (no fast startup)
• Clean GPU driver reinstall
• Multiple reboots

❗ Current situation

Despite all of the above:

• Hypervisor is still detected
• Virtualization-based security remains Running
• Some applications still behave as if Hyper-V is enabled

❓ Questions

• Is there any way to fully disable Hyper-V / VBS on Windows 11?
• Is this behavior expected on certain systems due to security enforcement (e.g. firmware or OS policies)?
• Could this be caused by something outside standard Windows features (e.g. hidden components or drivers)?

Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
