Toggle Hyper-V

Toggle Windows Hyper-V Batch Script

Fun Facts

Virtualisation software (e.g. Virtual Box, VMware, Windows Sandbox), DOCKER!!, and many other wares require the presence of this feature in order to function normally.

But wait... why would you ever even want to disable Hyper-V in the first place??

Reasons

This script was written in order to tackle the mundane process of toggling Hyper-V for these purposes.

Usage

WARNING!! Upon toggling, your system will reboot - so be sure to save any work before toggling!

Simply download this gist and run hyper-v.bat it as administrator.

Optionally, save it somewhere and add a shortcut to your desktop, customising the icon appropriately and setting it to automagically run as adminstrator.

Better yet, turn it into a CLI program and customise the script, passing in the switches required on the command line :)

Enjoy 🚀
