Disabled Hyper-V using BCDedit

Question

Ok, Am using  an Acer E5 Laptop running Win10 Home.  I have used VM for 2+ years to launch a database and I recently started getting an error during launch that said VM could not run with Hyper-V.   I ran across a fix that suggested using BCEdit with some lengthy commands to disable Hyper-V.  Afterwards I learned that Win10 Home is not available with Hyper-V.  But by now my Acer will no longer launch Win10 and the Self repair does not help.  I tried using SFC Scan but it did not help.  I'm lost and way over my head.  Tried to rin DISM but it is not allowed.   I also tried an Acer repair flashdrive and tried to install Win10 Pro from a CD but neither would run.  I tried to do a system Restore but it cannot find one, even tho I am positive I created one a month ago. Did I create an expensive paperweight?  Options?  BTW, I can get to the command line and other t'shooting methods, but so far nothing has worked.

Answer 1

It should be the same as the listing but in your case, use the GUID number instead of {current}

C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype off

The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>bcdedit

Still searching for the exact wording used but this is part of it:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Answer 3

I recommend you reset the BIOS default values ​​and try again to repair Windows.

Answer 4

actually I have a repair USB I bought either from MS or Acer. I also have Win10 pro on a CD but it didn't work either.  Had no luck when I tried it but will try again, maybe the stars will align this time?

Thx for the suggestions, I will study them and try...
