How to fix VirtualBox/disable Hyper V?

For Context: I'm running Windows 10 Home Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

So I use VirtualBox fairly frequently for a class. Yesterday, I installed Docker on my computer. This broke VirtualBox. More specifically, VirtualBox will start, I can start a virtual machine, I will get a boot screen, and then the screen will go black instead of booting up. I uninstalled Docker as soon as I made the connection between the two.

I've done some research. My understanding is the Docker enables HyperV, which prevents VirtualBox from running and causes the exact problem that I'm describing.

Here's my issue: One of the main ways of disabling HyperV is going into Turn Windows Features on and off. The problem is that the screenshots for this screen do not match mine. I have tried using Powershell to disable HyperV and that hasn't worked.

My Screen:

Checking or unchecking Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform have no effect.

I run into the same issue too running the same windows edition, I tried everything but it didn't work, I finally tried changing the launch typesetting for hyper-v from Auto to Off and it finally worked.

Check out my answer on this post to see how to achieve that: Can't install Android Emulator for AMD Processors

To check if Hyper-V is disabled, open cmd as administrator and type systeminfo.exe you should see this result
