version 6.1.34 VM Windows 10 fails to start if multiple CPU's are enabled

Post by the_iron »

Hi All,
on my new pc Acer Aspire A515-45 windows 10 Home when i try to change the settings number of cpu of my windows 10 VM it fails to start, hanging up at boot...
I try to disable hipervisorlaunchtype with

Code: Select all

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
but nothing changes...

on old pc Fujitsu Lifebook NH532 with version 6.1.24 there is no problem.

could anyone help me?
thanks

That command doesn't disable anything, it simply modifies a boot script. So did you restart the PC (from full power down) so that the boot changes would take effect?

I would seem not, since the log still shows Hyper-v as enabled.

00:00:02.781948 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...

thanks very much, with reboot it works...
but why i need to disable Hyper-V for running vm with more then one cpu, in the documentation (https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualizati ... rv-support) report VirtualBox +Hyper-V as experimental feature but not mention this limitation.

Note the word "experimental". The experiment failed in your case.
