Marco Zhang Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Ok. I am a bit lost. I had Hyper-V installed on Windows 10, now I want to switch to VirtualBox on the same machine but always get some errors. I think what's causing them is the hyper-V I have installed. But now, I'm not sure how to uninstall it. Did someone have a similar experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Zhang Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 @Tayler Odling, I've been trying various configurations, and I got different errors, like BSOD with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION or VT-x is not available. I am pretty sure it is because of the Hyper-V installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Moderator Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi,@Marco Zhang! You're right. Hyper-V can cause errors if you want to run a second-type hypervisor (like VirtualBox) on the same machine. So, the best solution for you is to uninstall Hyper-V if you don't want to use it anymore. You can do it using booth GUI and CLI. Disabling Hyper-V in the control panel of Windows 10 is one of the most convenient methods to uninstall Hyper-V completely. To use it, do the following: Click Start and open Control Panel. There are two methods of opening the Control Panel: Press Win+X and click Control Panel in the menu. Press Win+R > type appwiz.cpl > press Enter. In the Control Panel window, click Turn Windows features on or off. In the Windows Features tab, deselect the Hyper-V. Note: Ensure that all the checkboxes in Hyper-V subfolders are also deselected. Click OK. This will start the Hyper-V uninstallation process. Click Restart to finish the process. If for some reason you prefer another uninstalling method, check this blog post with several other disabling options https://www.nakivo.com/blog/uninstalling-or-disabling-hyper-v-in-windows-10/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
