Can't fully disable the hypervisor (specifically Hyper-V) on my Windows 11 Home 24H2 Machine
Hi, I'm running Windows 11 Home 24H2, and I'm trying to fully disable Hyper-V/VBS to allow Oracle's Virtual Box to use VT-x natively.
So far I have:
Disabled BitLocker, Secure Boot, and Memory Integrity
Removed all optional features: Hyper-V, VirtualMachinePlatform, WindowsHypervisorPlatform
Set all relevant boot flags:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
bcdedit /set vm No
bcdedit /set vsmlaunchtype Off
Also set registry keys:
DeviceGuard\EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity = 0
LSA\LsaCfgFlags = 0
Yet, running systeminfo still gives:
Hyper-V Requirements: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.
I ran bcdedit /enum {current} and saw this:
isolatedcontext Yes
Additionally, when going into the control panel to turn off Window features, I am not given a single Hyper-V option, as shown:
I believe this is whatโs still loading a minimal hypervisor layer, even after disabling everything else.
Is there any way to fully disable the hypervisor???
Thanks in advance!

CMD running bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off and turning off BIOS virtualization will disable Hyper-V.

He want to enable CPU virtualization of his VMs on another Hypervisor so couldn't disable BIOS virtualization.
