Enable Intel VT-x

[MuthukumaranS]

I am trying a run a virtual machine through VMWare. It fails saying the below reason,

Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.

(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable Intel VT-x and disable 'trusted execution.'

(2) Power-cycle the host if either of these BIOS/firmware settings have been changed.

(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Player.

(4) Update the host's BIOS/firmware to the latest version.

How to enable the Intel VT/x in BIOS. PLease let me know.

Typically this option is disabled from the factory. Your HP ENVY Notebook - 15t-ae000 CTO appears to similar to an HP ENVY 15t-j100 that was previously on loan to me. If the two are anything alike, you should be able to enter the BIOS and move to the "System Configuration" tab to enable Intel VT-x / Virtualization Technology.

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 🙂

As I understand you need information on how to access the bios screen,

And here's all you need to know:

Accessing the BIOS Setup menu

There are at least three different ways to access the BIOS setup menus depending on the type of CPU, the BIOS, and when the notebook was built. For most models, after you press the power button to turn On the computer, prompt displays to specify what key to press to enter BIOS or Windows or diagnostic functions. For newer computers, it will be the F10 key or the Esc key, however, on very old computers, you may be prompted to press the Delete key to enter a Setup function. If you do not press the suggested key at the proper time and the computer continues through the boot process, you will need to shut down the computer and try the boot process again.

• Pre-UEFI, before 2008 for most models.

  With the computer turned Off, press the power button to turn On the computer, and repeatedly press the F10 key. Normally, the Compaq or HP splash screen will display a message to press F10 to enter the BIOS just before the BIOS menu is displayed.

• UEFI Enabled, 2008 to mid-2011 for most models.

  If the computer has the UEFI pre-BIOS environment, when the Compaq or HP splash screen displays, you are prompted to press Escape to enter Start Up Menu. Then there is a prompt to press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup.

  Because of the different types of CPUs and BIOS configurations, it may be possible to turn On the power and press F10 for the BIOS without going through the UEFI Start Up Menu.

• Shortened Startup without splash screen, mid-2011 or later for most models.

  To help computers start faster, on some models the Compaq or HP splash screen is not displayed during the startup process. In this case, after pressing the power button, repeatedly press the Esc key to enter the Start Up Menu, and follow the prompt to press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup.
