You must go into the bios and change the toggle for Intel Virtualiztion Tech.

Hey guys, so I've had this HP Envy m6-1205dx for about two years now. In the past 6 months I increased the RAM to 16GB and put an SSD in it. It has also been upgraded to Windows 10. Here's my problem: I intend to run virtual machines on this laptop and I have in the past with no problems. But at some point it stopped working, and I just discovered today that in the Task Manager Performance tab, when you select CPU, it says Virtualization is disabled. I think this is the reason why I can no longer run virtual machines on this laptop, but I'm wondering why and how this setting ever got changed, and how I change it back so I can run VMs. Thanks for the help guys.

Most likely it is disabled in your BIOS, I forget what the setting is under but I know I had to enable visualization in my BIOS before I could.

My i5 6500 is bad and can't even maintain 4.5ghz, and 4.4ghz causes it to slowly become unstable over weeks with a vcore of 1.395. FML

Yea, for some really bizarre reason (actually I'm fairly certain it's to make sure no one who doesn't know about computer security can run the VM's and put your computer at huge risk) intel VT is ALWAYS disabled by default.

 

It's a super easy swap though to fix.
