Can't start Windows XP 64-bit VM

[YusufYaser]

When I try to start a VM, it gives me this error:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows XP (64-bit)

(VERR_NEM_MISSING_KERNEL_API).
VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

I have Virtualization Technology enabled in by BIOS.

But I can tell you already what the problem is: you have Hyper-V enabled. Go to the "Control Panel" » "Programs and Features" » "Turn Windows features on or off", and make sure that the none of the following are active:

• Application Guard
• Credential Guard
• Device Guard
• <any> * Guard
• Containers
• Hyper-V
• Virtual Machine Platform
• Windows Hypervisor Platform
• Windows Sandbox

What's interesting though is the following tidbit:

      Connection Name: vEthernet (Ethernet)
...
[05]: Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter
      Connection Name: vEthernet (Default Switch)
...

      Connection Name: vEthernet (Wi-Fi)
