Z820 Bios Virtualization on. Showing not supported in speccy
Intel Xeon CPU E5-2687W 0 @ 3.10GHz X2
Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Model 158B (CPU0)
Version 1.01
Brand Hewlett-Packard
Version J63 v03.96
Date 10/28/2019
If I set virtualization off in bios speccy says virtualization supported not active
Not understanding why Virtualization is not working any assistance would be much appreciated. The CPU's worked fine in another Z820 no issues with virtualization. Have even re-updated the bios thinking that may have caused the issue.

Hi Anonwatch,
Can you please post your Boot Block Date, (as indicated in the BIOS). i.e. do you have a V1 or V2 version motherboard?
Please also post what additional hardware is installed, e.g. GPU, RAM, any other PCI cards, etc. ( i have read a few threads where AMD graphics drivers were causing issues).
Unfortunately, I don't use virtualization my self but a quick Google search, ("virtualization enabled in bios but not working windows 10") seems to bring up a load of hits. Have had a look at any of these 'fixes'?
Hopefully, someone with some expertise in this area will join the thread.

boot block dateThe cpus are the 3.1ghz E5 2687w which are version 1 the version 2 are 3.4ghz. Yes virtualization is turned on in windows and in the bios. Yet I get this when I turn virtualization on.
These cpu's worked fine in my prior Z820 and they do support virtualization

and have you compared the results "speccy" shows against another program? try this:
- Press Ctrl + Alt + Del.
- Select Task Manager.
- Click the Performance tab.
- Click CPU.
- The status will be listed under the graph and will say "Virtualization: Enabled" if this feature is enabled.
