i9 and Issue Registering VMX

[plat]

Hello again. I am uploading several images of HWiFO64 system info and a Windows task manager read-out.

First image shows red (supported but disabled). I then went into the BIOS and enabled it for security purposes. Now I have a seeming conflict: Task Manager shows it's enabled, HWiNFO suggests it's not available. This issue has popped up before in this forum but I don't see this combination. Can someone provide some info on this?

I'm looking to enhance the security on this machine.

Without seeing the HWiNFO Debug File it's hard for me to provide an exact assessment.
But I think the problem here is that when VMX is enabled in BIOS, Windows enables Hyper-V as well and some of its features (i.e. Core Isolation) is masking access to certain resources including the VMX feature by guest OS processes (i.e. HWiNFO).

I have scoured the UI of both the Sensors and System outputs and don't seem to be able to find where the debugging function is. I looked under all the tabs in the Settings section. Apologies if I missed this. Although I suspect your reply is on the money, I want to submit a debug file just in case. I read the one pinned at the top but it's from 2010, it seems.

HWiFO64 6.28 4200

Here are the files--now I am pretty certain your reply about Windows virtualization was right on. Also, I noticed at the bottom right in the initial System snip that Secure Boot did not seem enabled (greyed out). So, went into BIOS again and there was a setting in the Advanced section set to "other OS." Set it to Windows UEFI and now Secure Boot is enabled properly.



So I appreciate HWiNFO all the more.

Yup, if you look in the main window of HWiNFO:
"Microsoft Hyper-V is active. Some results might not reflect real hardware !"
