I have a lenovo Z570 laptop running windows 10 64-bit. My processor (i5-2430m) + bios offer support to virtualization.

however if I enable "Intel virtualization" option in bios:

  • hyper-V works fine.
  • securable shows that hardware virtualization is not supported.
  • coreinfo shows VMX not available but HYPERVISOR available

And if I disable "Intel virtualization" option in bios:

  • Hyper-V shows error message that hypervisor is not running if I try to start a guest.
  • securable shows that hardware virtualization is supported.
  • coreinfo shows VMX available but HYPERVISOR not available.

Is this normal or is there any problem with my bios/windows? If it's normal please explain what is actually happening!

Thanks in advance!!

Get this Id utility from intel. Check if Execute Disable Bit and Enhanced Halt State are enabled.

Note that Intel's proprietary Virtualization Technology HAXM and Hyper-V cannot run at the same time. Make sure "Hyper-V", a Windows feature, is not installed/enabled on your system. Hyper-V captures the VT virtualization capability of the CPU, so HAXM and Hyper-V cannot run at the same time.

Depending on what you want to accomplish either enable or disable Hyper-V at start-up using bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off/auto.

Thanks guys I finally understood the reason for my problems after reading this answer

After enabling the Intel Virtualization in bios windows 10 host now acts like a VM running from hypervisor that is linked with bios. So securable and coreinfo shows that VMX not available as it is already running in a VM.
