  • 1.  Cannot disable Hardware Virtualization ESXi

    Posted Mar 03, 2020 10:38 PM

    Hey All,

    I was messing around with a test VM and turned on hardware virtualisation. I now want to pass through a PCI-E card, and am greeted with an error. No problem, I think, I'll just turn off virtualization.... but I can't as the option is greyed out:

    Any ideas how I can turn this off? Thanks in advance.

    Can you confirm that the VM is powered off?

    Hi Andre - yes VM is turned off. I tried in maintenance mode too, but couldn't access any of the settings whilst in that mode.
