Docker for Windows Error No hyper-visor is present on this system

Question

I am new to Docker for Windows. I am getting an error when I try to execute the hello world example by following the below steps:

1. Installed docker for windows as per the instructions
2. Both Hyper-V and Virtualisation have been enabled on my windows 10

I get the below error:

An error occurred. Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS. See https://docs.docker/docker-for-windows/troubleshoot/#virtualization-must-be-enabled

Please note the problem in this post occurs when using Windows containers.

Answer 1

Here is what worked for me: Open command prompt as admin and run

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

After that reboot your system.
