3 Ways to Fix «AMD-V Is Disabled in the BIOS» Error [Partition Manager]

Why will you get the error «AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS» when running a VM in VirtualBox? How to solve this problem? In this post, MiniTool Partition Wizard will offer 3 ways to help you fix this issue.
When you try to run a virtual system in VirtualBox, you may get error «AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS».
In general, VM software will require the CPU to help complete the VM virtualization process, because virtualization done by the software can be a slow process. Using the CPU to help in this task can greatly improve the virtual machine performance.
AMD-V, short for AMD Virtualization, is the virtualization extension provided by AMD CPUs. In some BIOS versions, AMD-V is also called AMD SVM. If this technology is disabled, VM won’t open.
Tip: If you are using an Intel CPU, you will get the error «VT-x Is Disabled in the BIOS».
The possible reasons of this error are as follows:
- As the error indicates, AMD-V is not enabled in BIOS.
- Microsoft Hyper-V is interfering with the AMD-V technology.
- BIOS version doesn’t support so many CPU cores.
To fix this error, you can try the following methods.
Fix 1. Enable AMD-V from the BIOS settings
AMD-V or AMD SVM has been enabled by default. But when the error «AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS» occurs, it’s very likely that this feature is disabled for some unknown reasons. Then, you can enable it again to solve the problem.
- Restart your laptop/desktop. Then, on the boot screen, press the BIOS key (F2, F4, F8, F10, F12, or the Del key) to enter into BIOS mode. The BIOS key may vary depending on computer models. But you can follow the on-screen instructions or search it online.
- In the BIOS interface, navigate to Advanced > CPU Configuration. In this tab, make sure the AMD-V or AMD SVM is enabled. The specific path and the virtualization technology name may vary depending on different BIOS versions.
- Press F10 to save the changes and then exit from BIOS.
Fix 2. Disable Windows Hyper-V
Microsoft Hyper-V is Microsoft’s own virtualization technology that is automatically enabled on most of the recent Windows versions. However, enabling Microsoft Hyper-V may turn off AMD-V technology automatically. In this case, you’ll need to disable the Microsoft Hyper-V. Here is the guide:
- Press Windows key + R to open the Run
- Type «cpl» into the Run box and press Enter.
- In the Programs and Features window, click Turn Windows features on or off on the left side of the panel.
- On the Windows Featureswindow, uncheck Hyper-V and click OK.

Fix 3. Change the Number of CPU Cores to 1
If the VM VirtualBox is forced to create a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU core, it will require hardware virtualizations. However, if the AMD-V technology is not supported by your current configuration, the virtualization procedure will not complete successfully and you will get the error «AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS».
In this case, you can solve the error by changing the number of CPU cores to 1. Here is the guide:
- Open Oracle VM VirtualBox, right-click on the machine that is displaying the error and then click on Settings.
- In the Settings of your virtual machine, go to the System > Processortab, drag the slider associated with Processor(s) to 1 CPU and click OK to save.
- Close the settings menu and restart your virtual machine.

Здравствуйте, сегодня я расскажу Вам, как исправить ошибку, которая возникает при установке 64-х битных операционных систем в программе VMware.
Ошибка выглядит следующим образом:
(This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit guest operating systems. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled. Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been power -cycled since changing this setting. Далее программа предлагает нам пути решения данной проблемы).
Что же мы будем делать?
Для решения данной проблемы нам необходимо перезагрузить компьютер и зайти в BIOS (разные производители компьютеров использую различные способы входа в биос. Чаще всего это клавиша DELETE или F2, но кто то использует клавишу ESCAPE (ESC) или функциональные клавиши, которые находятся над клавиатурой)
После входа в BIOS нам нужно найти вкладку конфигурация системы (System configuration) и во вкладке Virtualization Technology установить параметр Разрешить (Enabled)
После установки данного параметра сохраняем изменения в BIOS и перезагружаем ПК. Это решит нашу проблему.
В некоторых моделях ноутбуков это вкладка Advanced (Настройка для продвинутых), а во вкладке advanced необходимо перейти в настройки процессора (CPU Setup). Далее мы выбираем пункт Intel(R) Virtualization Technology и устанавливаем параметр Enabled (Разрешить)
Это также решит нашу проблему и на данном производителе компьютеров.
Если у кого проблему не удалось решить, пишите в комментариях ошибки с которыми вы столкнулись при установке ОС на VMware попробую Вам помочь.

When I try to run VMware, I’m getting
Unable to change virtual machine power state: This host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled.
AMD-V might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.

Hi
I can’t get Workstation to work on my work computer.
I get the error message when I try to load (any) OS in Workstation, «This host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled»
I’ve already done/tried the following:
-virtualization eanbled in BIOS
— hyper-v removed under «turn windows features on or off».
I’m in touch with company IT support and they suspect that this may be linked to Virtualization Based Security on Credential Guard GPO.
What exactly should they look for?
I’m running Windows 10 Enterprise, version 1803, and currently latest Workstation Pro Edition, 15.5.1
Issue
VMware Workstation refuses to launch Virtual Machines with the error below:
This host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled.
AMD-V might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.
(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable AMD-V.
(2) Power-cycle the host if this BIOS/firmware setting has been changed.
(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Workstation.
(4) Update the host’s BIOS/firmware to the latest version.
This host does not support «AMD RVI» hardware assisted MMU virtualization.
Module ‘CPUIDEarly’ power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Resolution
As the error message suggests the issue is caused by disabled AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) in system BIOS. Where exactly enable this in BIOS depends on the motherboard model and it’s not always in a very obvious place.
For example, on the Gigabyte X470 Aorus motherboard, you need to enable the following option: MIT > Advanced Frequency Settings > Advanced CPU Core Settings > SVM Mode > Enabled.

Error (AMD-V is disabled)
Hello,
Error while powering on: This host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled
I tried powering my VM today and I got this error. I’ve used this machine before on this PC. I think I got this error and had to change an option in the BIOS the first time I installed VMware, but I got it again today. I have not updated the BIOS or changed anything in the BIOS. Is this normal? Maybe because of a Windows update it got changed back?
Thanks

level 1
I had similar, brand new windows 10 amd ryzen 9 machine. Restoring vm image from previous rig. Had to go into bios to enable the amd-v option. Then it worked. Bios wasn’t obvious which option was which, had to read the paper manual! Once the option was set vm spun up no problems. Good luck.
level 1
A windows update might have changed your bios settings back to default.
It never hurts to check.
level 2
This doesn’t happen (almost)…
Unless you’re on the smallish number of OEM machines that can update its bios through windows update.
