I'm using Windows 11 Home and had installed WSL. Apparently wsl2 uses hyper-v so that's causing problems when I want to run VMs. I'm not sure how to turn hyper-v off though. Since I'm using Home, Hyper-V is not listed in optional features, and the powershell command Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Hypervisor doesn't work either.

I uninstalled WSL (using instructions from this post) and rebooted, but hyper-v is still running. How do I turn it off so I can use hardware virtualization for my VMs?

In an elevated Command Prompt write this :

To disable:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

To enable:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

(From comments - restart to take effect)
