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

• Go to Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off.
• Uncheck Hyper-V in Windows feature.
• Windows Feature will apply the changes and ask you to restart.
• Click Restart Now to reboot the PC and apply the changes.
• Also, make sure that Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) is disabled.
• Also, make sure that Windows Sandbox is disabled.
• Also, make sure that Virtual Machine Platform is disabled.
• Also, make sure that Windows Hypervisor Platform is disabled.

2. Disable Memory Integrity

• Core Isolation is a Windows security measure.
• Memory Integrity is a security feature in Windows Core Isolation.
• To disable Memory Integrity: Open Windows Security.
• Go to Device Security → Core isolation details.
• Turn Memory Integrity off.
• Reboot your PC when prompted.

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
  Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes
  Second Level Address Translation: Yes
  Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes
  

• Otherwise, Hyper-V is still enabled.
• If you already followed instructions 1. and 2., and Hyper-V is still active, try following this guide to completely disable Hyper-V manually.
• Windows 11 24H2
• There is a known bug with Windows 11 24H2 which makes it impossible to disable Hyper-V on some configurations. Make sure to use Windows 11 25H2 or higher, or upgrade Windows 11 24H2 to 25H2 if possible.
