I have the Hyper-V role enabled on Windows 8.1 for VS Express Windows Phone Emulation. The problem is this error when I try to run a VMWare Player virtual machine:
VMware Player and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Player.
The workaround is to disable Hyper-V so that you can use VMWare.
To do this open an Administrator Command Prompt, enter this command and then reboot:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Hyper-V can be enabled again with this command (which also requires a reboot):
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
Thanks brah
thank you!!
Glad it helped Shankar π
thank you man π
Does anyone know what installed Hyper-V as I don’t recall doing it intentionally
Visual Studio is all that springs to mind π
exactly!! I got the same problem after I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2013
For me, in my Windows Server 2012, even after running the above BCEdit command to turn off hypervisor, I am getting the same error “vmware player and hyper-v-are-not-compatible”, when i try to turn on a VM. Can Someone help me? I even re-started my Windows Server 2012 remote machine on AWS.
I haven’t used AWS but I would imagine that this is a limitation of running Server 2012 on AWS, in that it is not the same as running Server 2012 directly on a physical box.
I got also the same problem βvmware player and hyper-v-are-not-compatibleβ event if execute the above command. i don’t know how to fix. I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 installed and i don’t want to remove it
Did you reboot after running the command?
Coincidence or not, my windows is broken, won’t reboot anymore after I entered the first command and tried to reboot…
I’m not sure why this would happen Kim, disabling Hyper-V should not affect booting your PC …
Hello Mike i need hyper v for school but i want to use vmware also. how do id o this?
greetings.
You have to disable Hyper-V and reboot to use VMWare. Then you have to enable Hyper-V and reboot when you want to use Hyper-V.
Thank you!!
no way to use them together?
Not that I know of Lewis.
One inside the other, maybe.
can’t able to disable to hyper-v even after running the command.
Hi Riyazs531, you have to reboot for the command to take effect.
thanks
Are you using as Administrator Command Prompt?
