Problem is once Hyper-V is installed and enabled, no other VM can even be started regardless of no Hyper-V VMs actually running. This limitation does not exist

Problem is once Hyper-V is installed and enabled, no other VM can even be started regardless of no Hyper-V VMs actually running. This limitation does not exist on linux afaik. I have run libvirt based VMs and VirtualBox VMs at the same time on linux just fine in the past.
- lukevp 6y agoThat’s not what’s happening. Hyper-v is a type-1 hypervisor. When it’s running, even your Windows instance is running within hyper-v. Windows 10 has the hypervisor platform that lets other vm developers hook into the hyper-v host architecture, that’s how you can get android emulators and virtualbox running under hyper-v. It all works fine but is a little unintuitive to set up.
- HelloNurse 6y agoIf both VirtualBox and VMware give up on Hyper-V coexistence, it must be a bit worse than "unintuitive".
- garethrowlands 6y agoThey haven't given up.
- SXX 6y agoMost likely you just wasn't using VirtualBox own virtualization since it's cant work alongside with KVM. Current version of virtualbox just use KVM just like libvirt.
