Windows 10: enable/disable Hyper-V from CLI

2016/10/20 No hi ha comentaris

Reading time: < 1 minute Assuming we're running a Windows shell with administrator privileges, using next commands is possible to enable, or disable, Hyper-V. In my case this is needed because when Hyper-V is running Virtualbox only can run 32bit virtual machines. I require Microsoft VM manager Hyper-V because I also run Docker for Windows and it's a requirement. 

#enable Hyper-V
dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All

#disable Hyper-V
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

# take into account that your new hard drive could be added in different point than “host0”
echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
