    • Hyper-V is built-in hardware virtualization software for Windows 11 Enterprise, Pro, and Education editions. With that virtualization application, you can set up and run virtual machines with different platforms. For example, you can try out Linux platforms, such as Ubuntu, within Hyper-V.

    However, Hyper-V doesn’t always run as expected for some users. One error message that pops up for some users when they try to launch Hyper-V states:

    The Virtual Machine Management is not present on this machine. Ensure that the Hyper-V Services feature is enabled.

    Consequently, Hyper-V doesn’t start when that error arises. The error message suggests you make sure that the feature is fully enabled. You can do that by applying the resolutions below.
