how to fix application can not run under virtual machine on windows11

Hi sayak,

Thank you for sharing your question. I understand you're running into an issue where certain software won't start in virtual machines (VMs), even on real Windows 11. It's blocking the software because it thinks it's in a virtual environment. I am here to help.

Many apps, especially games and security stuff, can spot when they're in a VM. They look for drivers, names, services, or even registry settings that point to virtualization. They do that to stop cheating or messing with the software.

To fix this, try turning off Windows virtualization

Open Command Prompt as an administrator, type systeminfo, and look at the Hyper-V Requirements section. If it says A hypervisor has been detected, virtualization is on.

Turn off Hyper-V completely by running this command:

bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype off

Then, restart your computer.

After it restarts, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off. Uncheck anything related to virtualization, like Hyper-V, Windows Hypervisor Platform, Virtual Machine Platform, and other tools for VMs.

Once you do that, your system shouldn't look like a VM anymore, and the app should install and run.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Noel
