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

Also, make sure that the following features are disabled:

2. Disable Memory Integrity

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

To disable Memory Integrity:

3. Verify that Hyper-V is properly disabled

Open a PowerShell terminal and run the following command: 

systeminfo | findstr -i "hyper-v requirements"

If Hyper-V is disabled, you should get the following output: 

Hyper-V Requirements: VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes

Otherwise, if you get the following output: 

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