Enabling Hyper-V on Windows for Improved BlueStacks Performance

You can enable it through the Control Panel. Microsoft has included Hyper-V with Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11, but it is not enabled by default. I have disabled Windows Defender and I am not using any anti-virus software, my computer has 12 GiB RAM and its CPU is Intel Core i5 4430 3.If you are unfamiliar with Hyper-V, it is a virtualization technology that allows you to create and run virtual machines, such as Android devices. So I uninstalled BlueStacks and downloaded the non-Hyper-V edition, tried to install it while Hyper-V is disabled, and it failed with error:īut Hyper-V is disabled: PS C:\Windows\System32> Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | where įeatureName : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Tools-AllįeatureName : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management-PowerShellįeatureName : Microsoft-Hyper-V-HypervisorįeatureName : Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management-Clients However I also want to use Oracle VirtualBox, which requires Hyper-V. I then disabled Hyper-V and rebooted my computer, and I can use BlueStacks again. I restarted the Engine multiple times and always succeeded in recreating the problem. The progress bar is very close to finish point, but it just refuses to go any further, like this:įinally it said: Could not start the Engine. So I enabled Hyper-V in OptionalFeatures.exe, and restarted, and then I found out that it just won't finish starting up, it just stuck at displaying Starting BlueStacks Hyper-V, please wait. I installed BlueStacks 4.0 via this executable: BlueStacksInstaller_4.2_native_4176a437bc759281d8303dbcf40bdb72.exe,it automatically detects the settings of my computer and downloads the appropriate edition of BlueStacks.Īfter installation I started BlueStacks, and it starts fairly fast.īut I found the edition of BlueStacks I have installed is BlueStacks (Hyper-V), however I had not enabled it. But I had not enabled Hyper-V when I installed BlueStacks. I have enabled Virtual Machine Platform because I use Windows Subsystem for Linux. I am using Windows 10 20H2, 64-bit, with CPU virtualization enabled.
