Hyper-V not showing in windows features.

Anonymous

hello I have a problem with Hyper-V not showing up in the features.

I have virtualization enabled on the bios.

I tried even on the powershell(as administrator) with the command

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

But got this error:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : The Microsoft-Hyper-V feature name is unknown.

In riga:1 car:1 

+ Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V  ... 

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException 

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand

Can someone help me? Thanks.

Hello GuidoGonnellla,

If you have the "Home" edition of Windows 10 installed, then Hyper-V will not be available for that edition. It's only available in the Pro, Education, and Enterprise editions instead.
