New Windows installations are already run inside Hyper-V, due to new security features like Memory Integrity:
> Memory integrity is a powerful system mitigation that leverages hardware virtualization and the Windows Hyper-V hypervisor to protect Windows kernel-mode processes against the injection and execution of malicious or unverified code. Code integrity validation is performed in a secure environment that is resistant to attack from malicious software, and page permissions for kernel mode are set and maintained by the Hyper-V hypervisor.

- TheRealPomax 7y agoUnless your VM solution is a VMWare technonoly, in which case hyper-v gets turned right back off because VMWare has its own hypervisor that needs to run as low as possible.
- ComputerGuru 7y agoJust announced that the next version of VMware workstation will be able to use hyper-v for compatibility with these security features (and more pressingly for their user base, WSLv2).
