#VIRTUALIZATION NOT ENABLING

I have virtualisation enabled in BIOS but still it just keeps telling me to reboot my pc and enable it again and again.

Also why does it keep saying degraded??

Something I would check is to open command prompt (may need elevated permissions) and run: bcdedit
And look for the entry “hypervisor launch type” and see what it is set to (should be near the bottom of the list).

If it’s not already set to auto in a elevated command prompt you’ll need to run: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

alr

#

and what does that actually do??

#

I believe it is an integral part of Hyper-v (and actually may be hyper-v)… WSL uses Hyper-v as it’s virtual machine platform.

#

Now, I’m not saying that setting the hypervisor launch type to auto will fix your issue (though it might)… just with the issue presented it’s one of the first things I check (after making sure virtualization is turned on in the bios).

Also, unfortunately some programs (virtual machine software especially) and some games (mainly ones with anti-cheats) either mess with the virtualization settings in windows or they don’t work properly unless they are changed… which at the moment I can’t tell if that might be an issue here.

# plush flame Now, I’m not saying that setting the hypervisor launch type to auto will fix you...

Yeah as you said my laptop suddenly died one day and i had to get it fixed and when it came back first it told me that TPM 2.0 was not even present on my device but before it was because i did have win11 and tpm 2.0 is required for that

Also when i tried to download valorant it said you can play and so much stuff and i had to downgrade to win 10 to plavy it and did some changes with virtualisation now i dont know if i enable this hypervisorlaunchtype will it mess up again?

salads WSL distro isn't installed, seems like thats the reason that prompt never goes away

left isle
#

ok so what to do

tiny tree
#

C:\WINDOWS\system32\wsl.exe --import salad-enterprise-linux "C:\ProgramData\Salad\wsl" "C:\Program Files\Salad\wsl\salad-enterprise-linux.tar.gz" --version 2

#

run this command

left isle
#

okayy

left isle
tiny tree
#

it shouldn't, no

left isle
tiny tree
#

i can play valorant just fine for example

tiny tree
left isle
#

wait

tiny tree
#

if its not

left isle
#

no it waasnt

#

should i run both again?

tiny tree
#

also run this command first after you make run it in administrator

#

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

left isle
#

done

tiny tree
#

no, just this command first and then the previous one ^^

#

screenshot the results after

left isle
#

here

tiny tree
left isle
#

ok

#

@tiny tree

tiny tree
#

then thats perfect ^^ salad should be working and you should be able to get past that virtualization prompt

left isle
#

YES

#

thank you!!!

#

ALSO @tiny tree one more thing, my salad showed "your system is degraded" should i ignore it?? also any tips you would give to boost my earnings (like process lasso or msi afterburner?)

i just hit retry but it took me to this "View Guide" thing

tiny tree
#

can you show me your performance tab?

left isle
#

of cpu?

tiny tree
#

ah, thats normal then

#

its showing that because of your integrated GPU, you can just ignore it

left isle
#

okay

radiant bay
#

i got the same problem help? 😄

#

sry, I'm German, but I did the same thing as my colleague, which you also wrote.

@radiant bay

#

Also, make sure virtualization is enabled in the bios, task manager does show if it is in the performance tab - cpu.

radiant bay

Yes, WSL is but it requires virtualization to be enabled in the bios…
And hypervisor launch type to be set to Auto in windows… hypervisor launch type in bcdedit being a part of hyper-v which WSL 2 needs.

radiant bay
#

sry for german but i think you understand 😄

plush flame
#

If those 2 are set correctly and it still has that problem… you’ll need to update WSL.

#

Check if task manager shows virtualization is enabled in its performance tab - cpu, it is circled in my screen shot.

# radiant bay

Yes, that is good…. But there are other things as well (not in optional features) that need to be set correctly for WSL 2 to work.

radiant bay
#

hmm

#

"disabled"

plush flame
#

Yeah, that is a problem.

radiant bay
#

and how do we fix it? 😄

plush flame
#

You would have to go to your bios, and there should be a setting in it that is something along the lines of “AMD-v” and or “SVM”.

radiant bay
#

hm... I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong in the bios if I don't know exactly where it is...

plush flame
#

Part of the challenge is not all bioses are the same.

#

Now I may be able to guide you if you need, if I know what motherboard brand and model you have.

radiant bay
#

Yes, I saw the video too, but in the end I didn't understand it because it looks different in my bios

plush flame
#

Look at the steps in that article…

plush flame
#

Ok, let me look it up.

radiant bay
#

yes 😄

plush flame
#

Ok, I’m assuming you know how to get into your bios.
Once in it you should be able to press f9 and just search for SVM and enable it (the option should be called “SVM mode” in your bios)…

#

.

If you want to find the feature without using search or if for some reason searching for it doesn’t work this should work:
Go to advanced mode (hit f7 if you aren’t already there) and then go to the advanced tab, then cpu configuration, and then enable SVM mode.

#

@radiant bay

radiant bay
#

okay i will do it but i think later

#

but im scared

#

really

#

I don't know anything about the bios

plush flame
#

Ok, it’s not all that scary🤡 😉…

#

Again you should be able to just go to your bios settings and press f9 and search for SVM, SVM mode should be the only result and you just enable that… then save and exit (f10) and yes on the confirmation dialog that comes up.
