Genymotion Desktop and Hyper-V (Windows)

Genymotion Desktop does not work well alongside Hyper-V for the moment. Therefore, we highly recommend disabling Hyper-V when using Genymotion Desktop.

1. Disable all Hyper-V feature

2. Disable Memory Integrity

Even though Hyper-V has been explicitly disabled, Windows 11 has several features that silently use the Hyper-V hypervisor in the background. This can prevent VirtualBox from accessing hardware virtualization capabilities. One of these features is Memory Integrity from the Core Isolation security measures.

To disable Memory Integrity:

3. Verify that Hyper-V is properly disabled

Open a PowerShell terminal and run:

systeminfo | findstr -i "hyper-v requirements"

If Hyper-V is disabled, you should see:

Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes

If Hyper-V is not disabled, you may see:

Hyper-V Requirements: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

In that case, Hyper-V is still active.

If you already followed instructions 1 and 2 and Hyper-V is still active, try following this guide to completely disable Hyper-V manually.
