How to fix "Your CPU is incompatible with virtualization technologies" error?

The error "Your CPU is incompatible with virtualization technologies" usually occurs in the following situations:

1) You are running Genymotion Desktop in a virtual machine

Genymotion Desktop has been designed to run in a physical environment, not in a virtual machine.

Nested virtualization is not supported.

Genymotion Desktop will not work if run in a Windows VM.

Genymotion Desktop will not work if run in a Linux VM.

Genymotion Desktop will not work if run in a macOS VM.

For more details, see: Can Genymotion Desktop run in a virtual machine?

Genymotion needs hardware virtualization to run.

While almost any recent CPU supports hardware virtualization, some low-end CPUs do not.

Make sure that your CPU meets Genymotion Desktop requirements.

All modern CPUs support hardware virtualization (VT-x/SVM), but this feature may be disabled by default.

Check that Intel VT-x, AMD-V, and/or SVM is enabled in your computer BIOS/UEFI.

Please refer to your computer manufacturer user guide to find how to access the BIOS/UEFI.

If you are using a computer with Windows pre-installed, you may not be able to access it at start-up.

If this is the case, follow the instructions from these articles:

Hyper-V interferes with Genymotion Desktop when using VirtualBox hypervisor.
