From 7401e053b26444c8769b39204c2846cf56986805 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Mc Donnell Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2021 17:11:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Windows misleads about virtualization I spent a lot of time wondering why I could not install the virtualization support. The Windows Task Manager said that virtualization was enabled. I opened the BIOS and it turned out it was not enabled. I could finally install the virtualization support after enabling it in the BIOS. I have added a note in the README.md that Windows can incorrectly report the virtualization status. --- README.md | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 8a4b3dd..bdfdbad 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -16,7 +16,9 @@ In the latter case, users are required to install the driver manually.
