Hi E Hamid,

From my research I found that this issue will occur if Hyper-V is enabled on the computer. If you have it enabled, let’s disable it and check. Refer to the following steps.

      •      Press Windows key+ X, click Control Panel, and choose Programs and Features.

      •      Choose Turn Windows features on or off

      •      Uncheck the tick mark next to Hyper-V, click apply, ok.

      •      Restart the computer.

Hope this helps and do let us know if you need any assistance.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I do both clean boot and disable the security software (Kaspersky Internet Security), but the error shows again.

    • This issue is just occur with this game (Need for speed the run).
    • I didn't do anything prior to this issue

    Hi E Hamid,

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue.

    -          Which security software or antivirus software is installed on the computer?

    -          Does this issue occur with all games?

    -          Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

    This issue might occur due to security software program installed on the computer.

    Let us follow these methods:

    Method 1.

    You may temporarily disable the security software and check if this helps.

    Disclaimer: If you have to temporarily disable the antivirus to install other software; you should enable the antivirus as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to virus attacks.

    Method 2.

    Boot the computer in a clean boot state and check the status. A clean boot helps to verify if any third party application service or startup item is causing this issue.

    Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow steps under “How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot” in the article to boot to normal startup.

    Reply with the status of the issue and we will be glad to offer our assistance.
