Hyper-V processes still running after being disabled

Hi, I have been trying to disable Hyper-V entirely, however whenever I use one of the methods I've found online, one of two things happen.

1: The method is in command prompt or powershell, and the command gives an error message saying that the process "hyper V" doesn't exist

2: It looks like it succeeds, but after a restart, system information still says hyper V items are running (Such as Hyper V - VM monitor mode extensions, and Hyper V - Virtualization enabled in Firmware)

If there's any other way to disable it, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    You didn't provide us the commands you're running. Possible issues include: you are running the wrong commands, you are not using the correct service names or you are simply stopping the services and not disabling them.

    If you don't want Hyper-V then why not just uninstall it from Windows?

    Hi Owen,

    Hope you're doing well.

    There are several ways to disable Hyper-V on Windows. Here are some of the options:

    1. Open Settings, click Apps and switch to the Optional Features tab. Under the Related Settings section, click the More Windows Features setting. Clear the checkbox for the Hyper-V feature. Then restart server.
    2. Go to Control Panel. Select Turn Windows features on or off. Expand Hyper-V and uncheck the Hyper-V Hypervisor checkbox. Restart your computer to apply the changes.
    3. Run PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

    bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

    Restart your computer.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
