hyper-v problems with nvidia GPU

Question

Using Windows phone emulator requires hyper-v to be activated, but as soon as it's activate, my nvidia GPU becomes irreparably disabled in ' device manager'. This affects my ability to run video games properly considering I use an i5 Intel CPU. GPU becomes enabled as soon as I disable hyper-v. I need the two natural functions of my computer. What is the work around or will MS expect me to buy an Xbox for that?

Hello Adewale,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community Forum.

As per the description, I understand that turning on Hyper-V disables nVidia GPU on your Windows 8.1 computer, you need to have both of them running.

The problem is only solvable by reducing the capability of graphic card or using svga driver. Hyper-v was not designed to work on a system with high graphics.
