BIOS SETTING NOT APPLYING TO THE SYSTEM (WINDOW)

[2010029]

Dear Hp,

I am facing my hardware issue on my Victus Gaming Laptop 16-s0022ns (7Z4G8EA) 

1: I HAVE DISABLE Visualization Technology from the bios still the laptop is running at vt enable (this means that the bios setting is not applying to the system) which is a big issue for me 

( Hp omen works well with no such issues)

I have confirmed from the other VICTUS users and the problem was same

I have disable fast startup and cold booted 2 times to make sure the system restarts properly but the result was same the vt was enabled in the window ( confirm from systeminfo command) and task manager were as on opening the bios the vt was already disable in the bios 

I i need to disable vt to run some applications but the VICTUS software is not doing so.

I hope you will reach out to me and help me to solve the issue as. Soon as possible. 

Thank you.

@2010029, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
I understand how critical it is to have BIOS settings apply correctly, especially when virtualization technology (VT-x) interferes with specific applications.

You've disabled Virtualization Technology (VT-x) in BIOS, but Windows still reports it as enabled via system info and Task Manager. You've also tried cold booting and disabling Fast Startup, but the issue persists.

Recommended Steps to Resolve:

Ensure BIOS Setting Is Saved Properly:

• Enter BIOS Setup (press Esc or F10 during boot).
• Navigate to Advanced > Virtualization Technology.
• Set it to Disabled.
• Press F10 to Save and Exit. Confirm changes are saved.

Disable Fast Startup (already done, but reconfirm):

• Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do.
• Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
• Uncheck Turn on fast startup.
• Save changes and perform a full shutdown (Shift + Shutdown).

Perform a Full Power Cycle:

• After shutdown, disconnect the power adapter and hold the power button for 15 seconds.
• Reconnect and boot the system.

Check for BIOS Updates:

• Visit the official HP support page for your model:
  Victus 16-s0022ns Drivers & BIOS
• Download and install the latest BIOS update if available.
• After updating, recheck the VT-x setting in BIOS and Windows.

Temporary Workaround:

• If VT-x is interfering with your application, consider using a different system (like your HP Omen) until a fix is released.
• Alternatively, check if your application has a VT-x bypass or compatibility mode.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
