Disabling Hyper-V in Windows 11 Home

Question

We know that Hyper-V is disabled in Windows 11 HOME Version but a running of System Information shows that it is installed (although not accessible).

When attempting to RE-connect to a Miracast device, it bombs out because it conflicts with the Hyper-V. I have to uninstall and reinstall the device driver each time I want to re-connect to the external TV for a power point display.

I'm unable to disable or uninstall Hyper-V from Windows Features as it doesn't show up since it is a Windows 11 HOME installation. How do I disable or remove Hyper-V so it does not conflict with Miracast in a Windows 11 Home version?

Answer 1

Hyper-V isn't part of Windows 11 Home AFAIK so I'm curious how system information is showing that it is. Can you provide more details about what you're seeing.

Note that there is confusion about what Hyper-V actually is. Virtualization is not Hyper-V and that is controlled at the BIOS level. It must be enabled before Hyper-V can be used but unto itself is not Hyper-V. The Virtual Machine Platform is also part of Windows but is not actually Hyper-V either. I don't have a Home machine to test but I believe that can be removed as normal. But note that Windows Subsystem for Linux requires it so if you need that feature then you cannot remove it.

I can find a post from way back in 2015 that mentions that Miracast has an issue with the virtual adapter that Hyper-V normally uses and that removing that resolves the issue but that is a really old post.

I shall suggest you to go through the following Microsoft reference:

Virtualization applications don't work together with Hyper-V, Device Guard, and Credential Guard
