Accepted Answer

QEMU requires Hyper-V to be enabled first; on Windows Pro/Enterprise it can be turned on in “Turn Windows Features on or off,” while Windows Home does not include Hyper-V by default and VirtualBox is usually recommended instead.

1. In Windows Search, open “Turn Windows Features on or off” 2. Check Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform 3. Restart the computer 4. If a firewall prompt appears on first launch, allow qemu.exe to access the network
