Unable to make virtualization work

[idata]

I am trying to run a VM and I'm being told that VT-x/AMD-V isn't available. I have i7-2630QM and I can see that VT-x is available, is it different than VT-x/AMD-V?

There is another problem. Virtualization was enabled in my BIOS, but Intel Processor Identification Utility kept reporting that Virtualization Technology is not available/disabled, as well Intel VT-x with Extended Pages Tables was disabled/unavailable. Now that I have disabled it in my BIOS, both appear enabled in Intel Processor Identification Utility.

I also wanted to mention that I've run several VMs when I had Windows 7 on this machine, and this is the first time I'm trying this on Windows 10.

Hi RBX,

I recommend you to contact your Laptop manufacturer, in order to set the BIOS configuration for this feature, the problem could be because your processor's Graphics controller doesn't support Windows® 10.Here you can corroborate this information: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005526.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005526.html Regards,Hellen.

I disabled Hyper-V to make it work. It worked for a while, but after a restart, I started facing the problem again.

It seems some antivirus software like Avast make use of some virtualization. I use 360 Total security, and I decided to disable its additional antivirus engines (Bitdefender and Avira AntiVir), and virtualization is working again (for now).

Hi RBX,

Hope you can find a solution, as you noticed there seems to be a setting on your Antivirus firewall. Regards,Hellen.
