Disabling Hyper-V can speed up your computer by freeing up hardware virtualization extensions that are otherwise reserved for the Hyper-V hypervisor.​


Many third-party virtualization applications, such as VMware Workstation and VirtualBox, rely on these hardware extensions to function efficiently. When Hyper-V is enabled, it monopolizes these resources, causing other virtualization software to either fail to start or operate in a slower, emulated mode. By disabling Hyper-V, you allow these hardware extensions to be utilized by other applications, thereby improving their performance and responsiveness. Additionally, some security features like Device Guard and Credential Guard also depend on the Hyper-V hypervisor; disabling it can free up system resources that were previously allocated to these features, potentially leading to overall better system performance.

shutdown /r
exit

That's it. Your computer will now reboot. After the reboot, Hyper-V will be off.
