VT-X/AMD Pre-Check Error

Hello all,

Im getting this error when trying to install Local on windows: http://i.imgur.com/Yka6B1m.jpg

I tried taking the suggestion here: [Windows] Help! I'm getting a BIOS error about VT-X/AMD-v during installation

But I don’t have that option on my PC. Any suggestions? Thanks. I think It’s safe to say I represent a bunch of dev on this.

Hi Allen,

Sorry for the trouble!

What model of computer do you have? Also, can you provide the specs if able?

Thanks!

Here’s my specs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8weys2l4i4i0qpr/Speccy%20report%20-%20ALLENOFFICE-PC.pdf?dl=0

Thanks

My PC model number is: HP Compaq Elite 8300

It looks like it’s under Security in the HP BIOS.

Here’s one image I found that may help:

Yeah, it worked. At last I’m on Local. Thanks Clay.

I get the same error on my Asus Q550LF-BBI7T07 laptop running Windows 10 but I have checked Bios and it says that Intel virtualization technology is enabled so I’m stuck.

Here is the log entry:

@dennis1,

Sorry for the trouble regarding VT-X!

Please see my reply here: Dell XPS 15 9560 VT-X not activated Error

Clay,
Having run into this problem in the past when using VVV as a local dev environment, I had already unchecked the box for Hyper V so I’m afraid it’s not that. Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help and the quick response.
Dennis

Interesting!

If possible, can you snap a picture of your BIOS settings and post it here? There may be some other setting we’re missing.

Here you go, Clay. Thanks.
Intel Virtualization Technology is set to Enabled. See attached.

@dennis1,

Thanks for that!

I’ve been looking into your particular device having that issue and haven’t came up with much. I did notice that it’s a common issue with the Dell XPS 9500 series. See my post here: Dell XPS 15 9560 VT-X not activated Error

The steps might work on your laptop since some BIOS/UEFI versions are shared amongst manufacturers.

Thanks, Clay. I’ll give that a try and let you know how I come out.

I am asus x550lc and a have enable the intel visualisation and i am also getting only 2 option at the time to setup . I am attaching the screenshot .

Please help me out

Hi Chiranjib,

Are you running other types of virtualization such as Hyper-V, VMWare Workstation, or similar?

No , i am not using any VMWare or Virtual Machine and i have also unchecked hyper-v in windows 10 but yes i am using windows sandbox ,it is a reason for not getting install local in my machine .

@chiranjib,

Interesting, thanks for the info! Based off of that, I doubt it’ll be compatible since Windows Sandbox and VirtualBox both require virtualization and will likely conflict.

Sorry!

I have also uncheck windows sandbox option for the programs and features list even though the result is same

have you tried this
Hyper-V must also be disabled Here’s how you can disable Hyper-V:

  1. Open the Window Start Menu
  2. Search for “CMD”
  3. Right-click on “CMD” and click on “Run as Administrator”
  4. Enter and run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
  5. Restart your PC
