Specs:

Windows 11

Legion 5 pro 16IAH7

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H

Virtualization is ON thru BIOS

Hyper-V does not show up as an option in "turn windows Features on or off" (missing entirely)

Command Prompt (and Powershell) does not recognize Hyper-V:

PS C:\Windows\system32> dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All

>>

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool

Version: 10.0.22621.1

Image Version: 10.0.22621.2134

Error: 0x800f080c

Feature name Microsoft-Hyper-V is unknown.

A Windows feature name was not recognized.

Use the /Get-Features option to find the name of the feature in the image and try the command again.

The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log

PS C:\Windows\system32> /Get-Features

/Get-Features : The term '/Get-Features' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable

program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
