Product: Z840 Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi All, 

I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a Z840 Workstation, and want to run Hyper-V, however, under W10 features, the Hyper-V Platform is greyed out and says "Virtualization support is disabled in the firmware". 

 

I've already enabled both the VT-x and VT-d in the bios - and confirmed it's enabled - with no luck. Fast-boot is also disabled as I read somewhere that it might interfere with windows recognising the bios setting. 

 

Anyone have any guidance to get around / fix this issue (if at all possible?) 

 

Thanks in advance.

RESOLVED - Once I removed the Hyper-V option, rebooted and then re-ran the Powershell script to enable it again (Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All) - rebooted and it was then working fine.
