  <p>We tried to disabled and enabled the &quot;hyperv&quot; from the Windows Features tab and then restarted the machine but it didn't work.</p>
  <p>When we hit a command &quot;systeminfo&quot; we got the below, saying &quot;hyperv&quot; is enabled.</p>
  <p>Hyper-V Requirements:
  VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes</p>
  <pre><code>                  Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: Yes
  
                    Second Level Address Translation: Yes

  <p>Now we have enabled the &quot;hyperv&quot;, restarted the machine but still we are getting the error, could anyone please help us out in this?</p>
