Wait really? That doesn't seem right, why would they have the host running under part of hyper v when hyper v is optional? This would mean the entire foundation shifts when you enable or disable hyper v
- skrebbel 7y agoHence the reboots.
- morpheuskafka 7y agoYeah, that's why the reboot is required, it's like changing kernels on linux. I think they are moving to have it on by default, and eventually they may just make it permanently part of the OS install. Kind of like how they take control of the TPM on install even if you don't setup BitLocker, I imagine they will just have the core hypervisor permanently enabled and then it's up to the user setting what actually uses its features.
