Hey guys, I'm trying to enable Hyper-V in order to use Android Studio AVDs with my processor (since it's an AMD processor); however when I turned on the feature, the computer experienced sevearal bootloops until it wanted me to automatically repair the machine. At this point, I tried to enable to feature in Safe Mode, the same thing happened; then I went and removed all Hyper V services and that got me back into Windows in normal mode.

 

--Edit--

I managed to get the BIOS to update to F.17 (the latest for my machine). But I have yet to try Hyper V since I'm afraid of it bootlooping in the middle of my classes (since I started a rather large paper but have yet to upload it into my desktop)

@NovaViper 

Welcome to HP Forums,

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

 

I see that you're trying to enable Client Hyper-V. I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • When was the last time it worked fine?
  • Was there any error code or message?

While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix

 

To enable Client Hyper-V using the Windows Control Panel, follow the steps below.

  1. From the Start screen, type Control Panel to open the Search charm, and then select Control Panel from the search results.

    On the Control Panel, click Programs.

  1. Click the plus (+) sign next to Hyper-V and all sub-items, click to place a check mark in the box next to Hyper-V and all sub-items, and then click OK.
    note: Ensure that all sub-items under Hyper-V are checked. If they are not, enable hardware virtualization support in the system BIOS. Refer to your system documentation for details.

Enabling Client Hyper-V with Windows PowerShell

  • Click the start button and type windows power shell
  • On the Windows PowerShell command line, type the following:
  • Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

Keep me posted for further assistance.

It worked before I enabled the feature. The computer would continously boot loop; so it never give me an error since it couldn't get into Windows

 

--Edit--

Just enabled the feature after updating the BIOS  it still continue to boot loop

Great, now I can't even go and disable it in Safe Mode. The services for Hyper V are completely gone so I can't even figure out why it's looping again... And right in the middle of a big project.
