Hyper-V won't enable for the Cloud DMA setup, stuck at the reboot step
Closed thread Closed by archiveSetup goes fine until the Hyper-V bit. Reboot, comes back, Hyper-V still not showing as enabled and the installer just sits on the same step. VT-x is on in the BIOS, checked it twice.
Windows 11 Home if that's relevant, which I suspect it is. 16 gig of RAM, so it's not resources. Cloud DMA product page has the requirements—troubleshooting after an update covers loader checks if the game side is fine.

Replies are closedHome is the problem. Hyper-V as a role isn't there on Home, you have to enable it another way
@1 you can still run it on Home, there's a script that turns it on from the command line. not supported officially but it works
it does work, done it myself on Home. it's the enable-hypervisor launch type thing, run as admin, reboot
worth saying Home is the one edition where you should just ask support before you start pasting commands off a forum
@4 or that yeah
also check core isolation isn't fighting it. if HVCI is on and something else has grabbed the hypervisor it'll just refuse
HVCI needs to be ON for this stack though, it's in the requirements. so it's not "turn it off" it's "check nothing else has it"
@7 right, my bad, phrased that badly
what else could have it. like what am I actually looking for
other virtualisation software mostly. VMware, VirtualBox, WSL2 sometimes, Android emulators. anything that's already sitting on the hypervisor
if you've got Bluestacks installed that's your answer, uninstall it, reboot, retry
command line route worked for me on Home after about ten minutes of swearing. ticket is still the safer bet if you're not comfortable
