Strix or any Z690 Board how to disable Hyper V?

[Adrian1983]

I'm trying to disable Hyper V as I have no need for it in Windows 11 however I have tried 3 different things to disable it and it is still showing as enabled in MsInfo as screenshot/

I checked the Windows Features/Optional Features where it wasn't even installed in the first place.

I ran this command in command prompt to disable it on boot which it said completed successfully but still enabled in MsInfo bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

And I also ran this command dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-hyper-v-all and that also completed successfully have restarted since and yet again it is still enabled.

What am I missing here or can it not be disabled after windows is installed?

You could try turning off Virtualization (VMX) in BIOS (Advanced/Advanced CPU Configuration). Might do the job.

Thanks for that I did actually try the VMX one in the bios and that did disable the hardware field in MsInfo but there are still 3 enabled for some reason not sure why.

Also have a look in BIOS (Advance/System Agent (SA) Configuration) and try turning that off. One or the other settings might work - never tried to turn it off myself...

I'm not absolutely certain, but I don't think you can disable those.  I think those flags are telling you what your CPU is capable of doing, whether it has the prerequisite features that are necessary to enable Hyper-V.  As far as I know, if the various Windows optional features for virtualisation are not installed, Hyper-V is not running.  N.B. some other Windows features use a cut down form of Hyper-V; such as Windows Subsystem for Linux, and several of the security features.

Why do you feel the need to do more than just disable the optional Windows feature?  Are you encountering a specific problem?

[Adrian1983]

I see, The only reason was as I had no need for them and then I read somewhere about the Hyper V remote service heartbeat that sends a ping regularly so I was just looking at disabling them but yes there is no Hyper V installed in the Windows features they are all uninstalled.

If Hyper-V (or another VM hypervisor, such as VMware) is actually running, you don't see those items in MSINFO32.  Instead, you get this:

Type following command in cmd terminal (admin mode):

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

then restart your pc.

Thanks but I have already tried that it did not work was all still enabled after restart.
