Not able to enable Hyper-V on Windows 10- Changes revert after rebooting

I have been trying to enable Hyper-V on my laptop: Dell Latitude E6440 with Windows 10 Pro. I am following this link to do the same but after rebooting my system on selecting Hyper-V options from 'Turn Windows features on or off', the changes are being reverted.

As described in the link, I have made sure that my hardware supports virtualization: enter image description here

I also tried after disabling my network adapter but even that didn't work for me.

Kindly help me out with this.

Thanks...

At last, found the cause! Seems like an update KB4074588 didn't get installed and was preventing container and Hyper-V Features to be installed as well.

Tried running the following command in CMD:

SC config trustedinstaller start=auto

and then got the updates installed properly. My system rebooted too.

Before doing the above, it should be made sure that the following have been verified:

  • You have Virtualization supported Windows 10 version (PRO, etc)
  • Your PC hardware supports virtualization. If not sure run systeminfo in admin CMD and you should see at the bottom all virtualizations marked as Yes Enabled Virtualization (Hyper-V, etc) in your BIOS
  • If you are connected to Active Domain (company computer/network) there are no policies preventing virtualization.
