Hey i don't see any option saying Hyper-V in windows features . The one i see that is related it' s called windows Hypervison platform which is turned off.

Turning it on doesn't fix the issue either. Can someone please help ?


Update: Managed to install windows server 2016 ,
open command prompt run as admin
BCDEdit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
restart your pc.
It worked.

Please do not lock this as i wanna see if it was just luck or it actually fixed the issue overall.

Microsoft seems to have changed the name, but yes it's still the same feature.

These are the tell0tale lines in the vbox.log:
00:00:03.005552 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available
00:00:03.076575 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...
'VT-x' will read 'AMD-V' for AMD processors.

Many Microsoft services can use Hyper-V, even in Home versions. The bcdedit command most often kills off the underlying Hyper-V subsystem, which allows Virtualbox to run unimpeded.
