You can have a Windows 10 configuration with and without Hyper-V as follows in an Admin prompt:

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 10 no Hyper-V"

find the new id of the just created "Windows 10 no Hyper-V" bootentry, eg. {094a0b01-3350-11e7-99e1-bc5ec82bc470}

bcdedit /set {094a0b01-3350-11e7-99e1-bc5ec82bc470} hypervisorlaunchtype Off

After rebooting you can choose between Windows 10 with and without Hyper-V at startup

This command works

Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All

Run it then agree to restart the computer when prompted.

I ran it in elevated permissions PowerShell on Windows 10, but it should also work on Win 8 or 7.

Command line:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:microsoft-hyper-v-all

If anyone is getting:

We couldn’t complete the updates, Undoing changes

after trying to disable the Hyper-V, try uninstalling Hyper-V virtual network adapters from your Device Manager->Network Adapters

Open a command prompt as admin and run this command:

bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype off

After a reboot, Hyper-V is still installed but the Hypervisor is no longer running. Now you can use VMware without any issues.

If you need Hyper-V again, open a command prompt as admin and run this command:

bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype auto

The OP had the best answer for me and it appears that others have figured out the -All addition as well. I set up two batch files, then shortcuts to those so you can set the Run As Admin permissions on them, easy-peasy.

Batch Off

Call dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All

Batch On

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

Right-click -> create desktop shortcut. Right-click the shortcut -> properties -> under the shortcut tab -> Advanced -> Run as admin

Open command prompt as admin and write :

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

This is not a direct answer to the OP's question, but if you have tried all the commands and Hyper-V shows as disabled, BUT still unable to start a virtualisation software like VirtualBox or VMWare and just so it happened that you had enabled WSL2 on your machine

Following solution might will work for you.

Go to Control Panel > Programs & Features > Turn Windows Feature On/OFF

Here is the catch, All the three below should be disabled/unchecked.

• Virtual Machine Platform
• Windows Hypervisor Platform
• Windows Subsystem for Linux

Restart!

you can use my script. paste code lines to notepad and save as vbs(for example switch_hypervisor.vbs)

If record="" Then
        MsgBox("Error: record can't find")
End If

I tried all of stack overflow and all didn't works. But this works for me:

1. Open System Configuration
2. Click Service tab
3. Uncheck all of Hyper-V related

I found the perfect solution on

It wasn't working with given commands. But when you go to Power Shell and use command CMD then enter on or off with bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype [off or on chose any] then it worked without any issue.
