When using your computer, an error may appear on the computer screen and a detailed error message that says “Virtual Machine Management Service (VMMS) is not available on this machine. Make sure that the 'Hyper-V Service' feature is enabled”.
Hyper-V provides hardware virtualization so that you can run multiple operating systems as virtual machines on virtual hardware. But sometimes Hyper-V doesn't work as expected and Virtual Machine Service does not appear error. This issue can occur on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
So, how can you get rid of this error from your computer? Take it slow and move on to the next section to get some effective solutions.
Check if virtualization is enabled in Windows 11
First, check that virtualization is enabled on your PC. Virtualization must be enabled on your desktop or laptop to utilize Hyper-V and any other virtual machine software. You can check that virtual machine technology is enabled for your PC as follows.
1. First, click the magnifying glass taskbar icon for the search tool.
2. Enter Task Manager within the text box, and open it.
3. Select the Performance tab shown directly below. The virtual machine detail there will be either yes (enabled) or no (not enabled).
If the virtual machine is not enabled, you’ll need to enable virtualization via your PC’s BIOS (Basic Input Output Settings). The first resolution within our Hyper-V and containers features are not enabled error article provide further details for how you can enable virtualization via the BIOS
How can I fix the Virtual Machine Management is not present error in Windows 11?
A. Make sure all Hyper-V features are installed
1. Type Windows feature in the search box and click Turn Windows features on or off.
2. In the pop-up window, expand Hyper-V, check the boxes of Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform.
3. Click OK to install the features.

B. Enable Hyper-V Services
If Hyper-V service is not enabled, the error “Virtual Machine Management Service is not present on this machine” may appear on your Windows 11/10 PC. So, enable the service to fix your issue.
1. Type services.msc in the search box and click Services to launch this app.
2. Right-click on each Hyper-V service and choose Properties.
3. Make sure the service is running. If not, click Start.
4. Click Apply and OK to save the changes.
1. Press Windows key + S. Enter cmd in the search tool’s text box. Click Run as administrator for the Command Prompt search result.
2. Type in this command within the Prompt’s window and press Enter:
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V
3. Wait for enabling feature process to reach 100 percent.
4. After that, reboot your computer and see if your issue is solved.
D. Uninstall Third-Party Virtualization Software
If you have installed a third-party virtualization program on your Windows 11/10 PC, the app may interfere with Hyper-V, leading to the error “Virtual Machine Management Service is not present on this machine”. You need to uninstall this software from your computer.
1. Press Windows Keys + R, type in appwiz.cpl and click OK to open the Programs and Features page.
2. Right-click the target app and choose Uninstall to remove it.
Should Hyper-V be enabled?
If you're going to install another operating system like Windows 11 or Linux Dextro without dual booting, Hyper-V is the easy way to go. It is a free virtual machine software and works most of the time.
Can I disable Hyper-V service?
You can disable Hyper-V services, but then you will get the error. These services are necessary for Hyper-V to work as expected, and some features depend on these services. So you should install these services.
Is Hyper-V any good? Should I use Hyper-V or VirtualBox?
Hyper-V is good but may not offer the same set of customizations of Virtual Box. It is very handy because it is easy to install, easy to configure, and simple. One of the biggest advantages of using Hyper-V is that it supports more operating systems and works across multiple platforms, unlike Hyper-V, which is Windows-only.
How much RAM do I need for a virtual machine?
The correct answer is the minimum amount of RAM required by the guest OS. However, it will also depend on the amount of RAM on your computer. One of the best ways to assign RAM is to set a minimum amount and then select Dynamic Memory feature, which takes up only the required amount of RAM. This ensures that the minimum amount of RAM is not blocked.
Is Hyper-V Gen 1 or Gen 2?
It supports both. Gen 1 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit, while Gen 2 only supports UEFI and 64-bit. This will become a pointless feature in the future as most PCs these days are 64-bit. It is recommended to use 64-bit but also make sure you have UEFI on your motherboard.
I hope the article was easy to follow and you were able to resolve the Virtual Machine Manager not appearing on this machine error.
