I'm trying to run Hyper-V on windows 8.

I enabled it from Windows Features, then it required me to reboot the PC.

When Windows rebooted it hung on the loading screen so I had to restart it.

It then shows automatic repair and I have to use a Restore Point to make Windows work again.

Note: virtualization is enabled in the BIOS and Im using HP ProBook 4540s, 8 GB RAM.

You need the following hardware requirements to run Hyper-V:

1. Hardware supports Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)

2. 64-bit Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise.

3. 4 GB or above of RAM.

Kindly go through the following links:

Hi,

As mentioned in the link posted by Steve, you can check the setting of Data Execution Prevention.

And according to the following blog, some hardware features that Hyper-V does not utilize and enabling them will prevent Hyper-V from loading.  (If your BIOS doesn't have this hardware feature, then igonre this part)

(Hyper-V : What to Disable in the BIOS)

Enable Hardware settings in BIOS to run Hyper V

the option will be
1. disable embbed WLan in BIOS, you can enable Hyper-V, but no WIFI after boot to Windows (because WLan conflicts with Hyper-V)
2. disable your bluetooth in BIOS, you can enable Hyper-V, but no bluetooth after boot to Windows (because bluetooth conflicts with Hyper-V)
3. disable both WLan and Bluetooth

i've done some research, for this specific HP model, this issue related to the Ralink device or driver that attached to your PC, you can also try to replace your WLan or Bluetooth device which not convenience but works, some of user which have the same HP model already confirm it

I also suggest you to discuss with HP as manufactured regarding this issue and let us know the update
