UEFI Black Screen Error

Question

Hi my name is Angus Lee and I am a 8th grader very interested with computers, as this is the first year since having recieved my computer, I am still very new to the ins and outs of this device. I have tried to install a virtual machine but it came up with the error “VT-x not enabled” I am trying to enable it through my UEFI ENABLED computer but everytime I try, the screen goes black and I cannot input and commands nor will the computer output any information. Is there a way to solve this problem or will I need to just wait and see if the problem fixes itself. I really want to browse through the internet freely without having to worry about virues so I would really appriciate if someone could help me solve this problem.

Sincerely, that one kid in the back of the classroom that appears to be murmuring something about world destruction and AI ruling the world.

Answer 1

The option UEFI enabled changes the settings from the boot, to enable the virtualization you need to enter on BIOS then click on the advanced tab then enable the option 'virtualization' or 'VT-x'

Answer 2

I am unable to find the bios key and my computer is uefi based, I'm not sure if I can access bios but if there is a way for me to do so, I would be grateful if you told me.

(1) It could be worthwhile to set up a virtual machine which I think is a way to install a 2nd OS, like Linux or another Windows. First, BIOS must support it as RobinsonSilvestre said. Next, you must install a Windows Feature (type into Search bar). Not sure whether it is both or just one of these...

Possibly, the "Virtual Machine Platform" is for a 3rd-party app to use, & "Windows Hypervisor Platform" is Windows' own Hyper-V app. Finally, you run the app to create the virtual machine. It will require resources such as RAM which I think Windows will no longer be able to use. But I'm really unsure how it works. It may be a college-level enterprise to fully understand, & my college days came before virtualization was invented. And yours may come after virtualization has become obsolete.

(2) But -- if internet security is your ultimate goal -- I think you don't need that. Windows Security is comprehensive these days & even has "virtualization-based security". Turn "Memory Integrity" on at "Windows Security, Device Security, Core Isolation details"...

Mine is OFF because it dislikes my Intel(R) HD Graphics Family driver. But you may be luckier, & Windows Security still has plenty of protections good-enough for me.
