virtualbox Raw-mode is unavailable courtesy of Hyper-V windows 10

Disabling Device Guard or Credential Guard fixed for me:

  • click Start > Run, type gpedit.msc, and click Ok. The Local Group Policy Editor opens. Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard > Turn on Virtualization Based Security. Select Disabled.
  • Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > Turn Windows features on or off to turn off Hyper-V.

Select. Do not restart.

Delete the related EFI variables by launching a command prompt on the host machine using an Administrator account and run these commands:

mountvol X: /s
copy %WINDIR%\System32\SecConfig.efi X:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi /Y
bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d "DebugTool" /application osloader
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} path "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi"
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootsequence {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215}
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} loadoptions DISABLE-LSA-ISO,DISABLE-VBS 
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} device partition=X:
mountvol X: /d

Note: Ensure X is an unused drive, else change to another drive.

Restart the host. Accept the prompt on the boot screen to disable Device Guard or Credential Guard.

You may need to disable the hypervisor.

So, follow the next steps:

1) Open command prompt as Administrator

2) Run bcdedit to check hypervisor status:

bcdedit

3) Check hypervisor launch type:

4) If is set to auto then disable it:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

5) Reboot host machine and launch VirtualBox again


1) Run below command in powershell with admin mode:

3) disabled Hyper-V: Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\ enter image description here

4) VMBox memory made it to: 3155 MB (VMbox->settings->system)

VM box Acceleration is deactivated. How do activate this? and fix above error? enter image description here

Restart your system.


  1. disabled Hyper-V (Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\ Hyper-V)

  2. modify BCD (bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off)

    enter image description here

  3. If core isolation is enabled, turn it off (Windows Defender Security Center> Device Security> Core Quarantine)

    enter image description here

If you cannot modify it, you can change the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ DeviceGuard \ Scenarios \ HypervisorEnforcedCode Integrity \ Enabled in the registry to 0
