This error typically occurs if the Hypervisor on your PC crashes or stops working due to incompatible or outdated drivers, bad drive sectors, or corrupted virtual machine image files. Fortunately, there are several methods to fix this error, and we will explore all the possible solutions below.
1. Enable Virtualization in BIOS if Your CPU Supports It
Firstly, ensure the Virtualization option is enabled in your PC’s BIOS if your CPU supports it. If it’s disabled, enable it and restart your PC.
Access your system’s BIOS by pressing keys like F2, F9, F10, Del, etc., as your system boots up. The specific key often appears on the bottom of the initial splash screen when the computer starts. You can also visit our BIOS key guide. For precise instructions, refer to the manual or check the manufacturer’s website. While in BIOS, follow these steps:
2. Restart the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management Service
This service is responsible for managing virtual machines. If you encounter the Hypervisor error when running a VM, restart this service before trying again.
3. Use the Command Prompt to Auto-Start Hypervisor
4. Update Your Virtualization Drivers
Obsolete virtualization drivers might cause the Hypervisor Error on your PC. Ensure these drivers are updated to the latest version.
5. Disable the Hyper-V Feature
Third-party virtualization applications can conflict with Hyper-V, potentially causing it to stop managing virtual machines effectively. Restart your computer once commands are executed.
6. Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic Test
Run this tool to scan your CPU’s RAM for issues that could contribute to blue-screen errors.
7. Run the SFC Scan
The System File Checker (SFC) scan examines your PC for damaged files that might be causing the Hypervisor error and fixes or replaces them.
8. Update Your Windows
Keeping Windows updated helps your computer operate more efficiently and can prevent errors like the Hypervisor error.
Should the HYPERVISOR error persist, seek further assistance from Microsoft support.
