• This step "#enable-the-hyper-v-role-through-settings" was already checked.
• Using "Right click on the Windows button and select ‘Apps and Features’." Yields no option to that end. I ended up getting there just by typing into "Win + S" the letters "Hyp" and then can click the "Turn Windows Features on or off" again to be clear it was not in "Apss and Features" Freshly installed Win 10 Enterprise 2018 release. Also are these two paths doing the same thing? One with PS and one with UI?

Same issue here with Windows 10 Pro - fresh install, Hyper-V enabled from the control panel (Turn Windows Features On/Off). Could not find the HyperV manager.

Interesting. @dorinlazar, do you have powershell management tools? (check by running Get-VM as administrator)

@communityus - yes, the PowerShell instructions and the Windows Features instructions do the same thing.

Do you have all boxes under Hyper-V checked? Both Server and Management tools?

[dorinlazar]

Sadly, I don't have that setup anymore. What I did was uncheck the box in the Windows Features, restart, recheck the box, restart and I was able to find HyperV manager. I suspect that the software updates made right after the fresh install removed the HyperV manager, but I can't confirm (nor can try to reproduce)

I'm about to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 which from what I read, should solve the problem.

OK the issue was that my latest Windows install was actually Home edition though I thought I was on Pro. Upgrading my key to Pro fixed the problem.

Same problem here. So tired of windows at this point not making everything so hard and changing setting all the time.

Hi, checked the boxes in settings and that did not work. I also tried the commands in the powershell and that did not work either. I was trying to run docker on windows 10 but kept getting the "Hardware assisted virtualization and data execution protection must be enabled in the BIOS" error message. Haaaa? But I checked the boxes and ran the commands in the powershell. I found this article at https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/access-bios-windows-10 and it worked perfectly. I can now run docker on windows 10...
