I am trying to run an app that requires hyper v is disabled and despite trying 50 different ways and it LOOKS like everything related to it is disabled, I still can't use the app. Please advise.

    To disable Hyper-V in Windows 11 Home, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open Control Panel:
      • Press Win + R, type control, and hit Enter.
    2. Navigate to Programs and Features:
      • Click on Programs, then select Programs and Features.
    3. Turn Windows Features On or Off:
      • On the left side, click on Turn Windows features on or off.
    4. Disable Hyper-V:
      • In the Windows Features dialog, find Hyper-V. Expand it and uncheck the Hyper-V Hypervisor option.
    5. Apply Changes:
      • Click OK and then restart your computer to apply the changes.

    If you prefer using PowerShell, you can also disable Hyper-V by following these steps:

    1. Open PowerShell as Administrator:
      • Right-click the Start button and select Windows Terminal (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin).
    2. Run the Command:
      • Enter the following command:
             Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Hypervisor
        
    3. Restart Your Computer:
      • After the command completes, restart your computer.

    After following these steps, Hyper-V should be disabled, and you should be able to run your application that requires it to be turned off.

    Hi ,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    Besides the steps provided by Q&A Assist, you can permanently disable Hyper-V from the BIOS. Reboot your PC, enter UEFI/BIOS (usually F2, Del, F10), find the CPU/Advanced settings, locate "Virtualization Technology" (VT-x or AMD-V), set it to Disabled > Save and exit.
