Vt-x enabled in bios but not working in windows 11

Question

Hi,

I am trying to use virtual box but it is sayng that my computer does not support VT-x technology.

I checked in bois and it is enabled. How can I make it work?

I have alredy tried the folowing:

1)disabled vt-x tech. in bios, restarted the pc, shutted down and enabled again. Nothing happend

2. enabled Hyperv, restarted, disabled Hyperv and restarted again. Nothing happened, Windows 11 is still not able to us VT-x virtualization technology.

I have even used intel processor identification utility, and even that program sees VT-X tecnology as disabled.

I kindly ask your help because I am becoming crazy and I really do not know how to make it work.

Answer 1

Hi...

This works for me.

1. Disable Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platfform at "Turn Windows Features on or off" in control panel.
2. Go to Device Security --> Core Isolation --> Core Isolation Details --> Turn off Memory Integrity and reboot.

After that Intel VT-x and other feature were detected

Hi,

I'm having the same issue, VTx is enabled in bios but in windows 11 doesn't recognize

Answer 3

I was able to solve my problems regarding VT-x support on Windows 11 for VMWare virtual machines by following the steps described in this article:

"VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible" error in VMware Workstation on Windows 10 host (2146361)

The important step was executing the following command on a command line

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

which disables the Hyper-V functionality on Windows which takes over the VT-x feature.

Answer 5

Same issue.. I can load windows 10 on the same motherboard / processor combo (core i7 12600k, MSI z690 pro motherboard) and the intel utility shows correctly with VTx enabled. If I boot into windows 11 however, I see it missing from the intel processor identification app.
