Windows 10 Hyper-V and VirtualBox

Last updated on February 26, 2020

 

VirtualBox is not going to run on Windows 10 systems with Hyper-V enabled. To get around this problem, edit the boot menu and add an entry for W10 without Hyper-V:

C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "W10 EDU - No Hyper-V"
The entry was successfully copied to {GUID}
C:\Windows\system32>bcdedit /set {GUID} hypervisorlaunchtype off
The operation completed successfully

You can also make a .bat file which will reboot into No Hypervisor Mode directly (or any other special boot option you may create):

bcdedit.exe /bootsequence {your-target-boot-option-guid}
shutdown.exe /r /t 0 /f 

Note: The bcdedit /bootsequence parameter does not make any permanent changes to your boot sequence; it only applies on your next reboot.

This trick saves a few seconds when you need to boot into another dual-boot mode.
