Once you have enabled the 'Hyper-V' and 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' features in Windows 10, VirtualBox will use accelerations : VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging, Hyper-V Paravirtualization. WHvCapabilit圜odeHypervisorPresent is FALSE! Make sure you have enabled the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature. If you attempt to start the virtual machine, VirtualBox will tell you that the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature must be enabled in Windows 10 and that Intel virtualization technology (VT-x) is not available. If Hyper-V is enabled in Windows 10 features, but the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature is disabled, VirtualBox will only use Hyper-V Paravirtualization. Use Hyper-V paravirtualization with VirtualBox 6

To solve the problem, refer to our tutorial : Enable virtualization (Intel VT-x / AMD-V).Ģ. If this box is grayed out, it's usually because processor virtualization is not enabled in your motherboard's BIOS.

make sure that the 'Hyper-V Platform' box present in the 'Hyper-V' feature is also checked and not greyed out.

this will not work on Windows 8, because this 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature is not present.

However, the 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature is only available from Windows 10 v1803.Īnd from the version 1809 of Windows 10, the virtual machine will try to start and will freeze on a black screen. Indeed, for this to work, the 'Hyper-V' AND 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' features need to be enabled on Windows 10.

Info : versions 1079 and earlier of Windows 10 are not supportedįor this to work, you must use a version of Windows 10 that is supported by VirtualBox 6.Īccording to our tests, only Windows 10 v1803 圆4 is supported by versions 6.0 and 6.0.14 of VirtualBox (even if the virtual machines will be slower).

Use Hyper-V paravirtualization with VirtualBox 6.

Screenshots available at the end of step 2 of this tutorial. Note : tutorial also tested without problem with VirtualBox 6.1 and 7 on Windows 10. Note that you can also use a multi-boot to boot or not with Hyper-V (if you want) so you don't have to uninstall and reinstall Hyper-V every time. This solution is therefore only useful if you want to be able to use virtual machines simultaneously with Hyper-V and VirtualBox. Since version 6.0, VirtualBox is able to use the Hyper-V API to coexist next to Hyper-V.īut, performance will be worse and it doesn't work with all versions of Windows 10.
