How To Turn Off Hyper V Windows 11 Mumu Player

People are currently reading this guide.

Alright, let's dive into turning off Hyper-V when you're using MuMu Player on Windows 11. It can sometimes cause performance issues with emulators, so getting it disabled can make a real difference.

Step 1: Let's Check if Hyper-V is Actually Enabled

Before we go through the steps to disable it, let's quickly verify if Hyper-V is indeed running on your system. This will save you some time if it's already turned off.

Open the Task Manager. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys simultaneously, or by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Task Manager".
Navigate to the Performance tab.
Look for Virtualization in the list on the left.
On the right side, check the value next to "Virtualization". If it says "Enabled", then Hyper-V might be the culprit affecting your MuMu Player performance. If it says "Disabled", then Hyper-V isn't the issue, and you might want to look into other potential causes.

Now, if Virtualization is enabled and you suspect Hyper-V is interfering with MuMu Player, let's move on to the steps to disable it.

Step 2: Disabling Hyper-V Through Windows Features

This is the most common and straightforward way to turn off Hyper-V.

Open the Control Panel. You can search for it in the Start Menu.
Click on "Programs".
Under "Programs and Features", click on "Turn Windows features on or off". This will open a new window with a list of optional Windows components.
- Scroll down through the list and look for entries related to "Hyper-V".
- You'll likely see a top-level "Hyper-V" option with a checkbox next to it. Expand this option by clicking the plus (+) sign if present.
- Make sure to uncheck the box next to the main "Hyper-V" option, as well as any sub-components like "Hyper-V Platform" and "Hyper-V Services".
Once you've unchecked all the Hyper-V related boxes, click "OK".
Windows will now start the process of disabling Hyper-V. This might take a few minutes.
You will be prompted to restart your computer. It's crucial to do this for the changes to take effect completely.

Step 3: Using PowerShell to Disable Hyper-V (Alternative Method)

If you prefer using the command line, PowerShell offers a quick way to disable Hyper-V.

Open PowerShell as Administrator. You can do this by searching for "PowerShell" in the Start Menu, right-clicking on it, and selecting "Run as administrator".

In the PowerShell window, type or paste the following command:

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

Press Enter to execute the command.
PowerShell will process the command, and you might see some progress indicators.
Once the command completes, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Make sure to do so.

Step 4: Disabling Hyper-V Using Command Prompt (Another Alternative)

Similar to PowerShell, you can also use the Command Prompt.

Open Command Prompt as Administrator. Search for "cmd" in the Start Menu, right-click on it, and select "Run as administrator".
In the Command Prompt window, type or paste the following command:
DOS
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Press Enter to execute the command.
You should see a message saying "The operation completed successfully."
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Step 5: Verifying that Hyper-V is Disabled After Restart

After your computer restarts, it's a good idea to double-check if Hyper-V has been successfully disabled.

Open the Task Manager again (Ctrl + Shift + Esc).
Go to the Performance tab.
Check the Virtualization status. It should now say "Disabled".

Alternatively, you can also check through Windows Features:

Open the Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on or off.
The box next to "Hyper-V" should now be unchecked.

If you see that Hyper-V is still enabled, double-check the steps you followed and try again. Sometimes, a second restart might be necessary.
