Check if virtualization is enabled

  • Right-click anywhere empty on your taskbar, then click Task Manager.
  • Go to the Performance tab. If it says Virtualization: Enabled, then you can jump to the part of disabling Hyper-V. If not, follow the instructions below to turn on virtualization in BIOS

  • Click Start >> Power. Hold down the shift key and click Restart at the same time. Your PC will completely shut down and then restart.
  • When your PC reboots and the screen shows the manufacturer logo, hold down the BIOS hotkey until you enter the BIOS setup.
  • *The hotkey can be F1, F2, F12, Del or Esc depending on different brands and models. If you’re not sure which one works, you can search online or consult the manufacturer’s manual
  • Find the virtualization setting in BIOS. The layout can also differ on motherboards, so you may see various terms. Look for Virtual, Virtualization, VT-X, or SVM.
  • Enable virtualization, then save and exit.

4. Disable Hyper-V on Your PC

Simply turning on virtualization doesn’t guarantee that the crashing issue will go away. There’s a Windows feature called Hyper-V, which could cause interference when virtualization is enabled. You can disable Hyper-V with the following steps:

  • You can turn off Hyper-V with the following steps
  • Press the Windows logo key and R to invoke the Run box
  • Type appwiz.cpl, then click OK
