How to Disable Hyper-V in BIOS

Step	Action	Description
Step 1	Shut Down or Restart Your PC	Save any open work and click either Shut Down or Restart on your computer.
Step 2	Access BIOS/UEFI Setup	When your computer restarts or turns on, immediately start pressing the key to access BIOS/UEFI. This key varies by manufacturer and can be: F2 F10 Delete Esc If you’re unsure which key to press, refer to your PC’s manual or look for a message on the boot screen that says "Press [key] to enter Setup."
Step 3	Navigate to Advanced Settings	Once in the BIOS/UEFI menu, use your keyboard arrow keys (or mouse if available) to navigate to the Advanced or System Configuration tab. The exact name may vary depending on the manufacturer. Look for options related to Virtualization Technology, Intel VT-x, or AMD-V.
Step 4	Disable Hyper-V	Once you’ve located the virtualization settings, select the option that refers to Hyper-V or Virtualization Technology. Set the value to Disabled. If there are multiple virtualization settings (e.g., Intel VT-x, AMD-V), ensure all are disabled.
Step 5	Save Changes	After disabling Hyper-V, press the key to save and exit BIOS/UEFI. Typically, this key is F10, but it may vary based on your system. Select Yes or OK when prompted to confirm saving changes.
Step 6	Restart and Verify	After the changes are saved, your computer will restart. Verify that Hyper-V is disabled by checking your system settings or running a virtual machine. If the changes weren’t successful, repeat the steps and ensure the correct virtualization settings are disabled.
