VM warning even though zero virtual machines are running (Win11)

[GeneGene]

Fresh Win11 install. No vm's of any kind are running. No WSL. The warning still appears.

"Microsoft Hyper-V is active. Some results may not reflect real hardware !"

What are you checking for that might trigger that warning?

Thanks

Later Windows versions by default (and during fresh install) enable HVCI (Core isolation) that relies of virtualization.

That generic warning undermines the results of a HWiNFO scan. Can HVCI be turned off in Windows? If not, can you identify exactly which 'results may not reflect real hardware' are impacted? Thanks!

All this has been discussed several times on this forum.

If it was all discussed, I assume you decided to leave in place the near-meaningless 'some results may not reflect real hardware' notification?

Any reason you don't specify which results might be bogus?

Thanks for the great app, though!

Mainly measured Frequencies were/are affected because of virtualization. No big deal anyway.

One example here (pinned thread):

IMPORTANT - Core frequency reading in Windows 11

I'm getting some odd looking core frequency readings with the current HWiNFO in Win 11. Is Win 11 supported yet? Screenshot attached.

Exact details depend on system and OS version/settings.
