Hardware Virtualization Problem : Unable to change settings

Post by SebTheDestroyer »

When trying to set the "Controller : IDE" thing of my virtual machine to Ubuntu, I can't save the changes because one of the settings are invalid, specifically the hardware virtualization setting. It says that it is not supported by the host system. When I change said option, it still will not let me save my settings changes. How do I fix is?

That error message really needs to be changed.

It refers to a checkbox that used to be there before 6.1.x came out. You can no longer change the checkbox because the thing that the checkbox used to toggle must now always be on.

To fix the error, either your PC BIOS does not have the "Virtualization Technology" (VT-x/AMD-V/SVM) turned on, or something on the PC, like Hyper-V or 3rd-party antivirus, is interfering. Go through every part of

This message has been removed from our development branch and 6.1 branch. Next 6.1.x will have the fix.
