There are three most common reasons for this error:

  • Your CPU doesn’t support VT-x or AMD-V virtualization
  • VT-x or AMD-V is not enabled in BIOS (UEFI)
  • You have Hyper-V virtualization enabled in Windows

You can fix first one only by replacing CPU with a new one, but it is easy to fix second and third reasons.

Solution 1: Enable VT-x in BIOS
