Hi All,

This is the first time I am using Virtual Box in windows 10 Home. I installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. I am getting the below error. I tried lot of fixes and none worked. Please help!

Not in a hypervisor partition (HVP=0) (VERR_NEM_NOT_AVAILABLE).
VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED).


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

Either your computer's "virtualization technology" (VT-x) is not on in the BIOS or Hyper-V is active. Go through everything in:

I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests

Hey there,

You are right. I had to enable virtualization in BIOS. It worked. Thanks though!!!
