Can't disable/delete Hyper-V

So, today I was installing Bluestacks, which needs Hyper-V to NOT be active/running. It says I have Hyper-V on, but I don't! I even run commands to disable it, but it didn't work. Or, I don't know, in Control Panel Hyper-V is unchecked. But every single app there needs Hyper-V deactivated isn't working. So, is there something in my PC which could FORCE Hyper-V to still be active?

In a nutshell: Hyper-V is somehow still activated, even though my Windows 10 Education says it isn't.

    I have tried them all, none of them works...

    I found out my windows isn't activated yet, can this do something to Hyper-V?

    Hi WindowsXPIsBetter

    My name is Jon and I am an independent technical adviser. Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues and I would really like to help you find a resolution.

    Did you enable the Memory Integrity option in the Core Isolation menu on Windows Defender? This option is available on Windows 1709 and later.

    Click Windows Defender icon in notification area (near clock) > menu expand button (3 lines) > Device Security > Memory Integrity Off

    If you can't disable this you will need to change the registry entry below.

    Windows key + r > regedit > OK

    Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity

    Double click on Enabled, change its value data from 1 to 0 and click OK to save changes.

    Hope this helps.

    So, gain a windows 10 ISO (for me) and just reinstall everything?

    Try running the following Powershell command.

    Windows key, type Powershell, right click result and run as administrator

    Type the following command and press enter

    Retry installation.

    I have core Isolation off, and the value of Hypervisor in Regedit was 0, before I went there...

    Is there anything else?
