Updated: Sep 20, 2020



The easiest way to fix BlueStacks virtualization error on windows.

Though there are different ways to solved this problem, we will do the easiest way to solve it through disabling the Antivirus Hardware-assisted Virtualization.

In this video, I will show you how to solve the Virtualization error in BlueStacks 4 on Windows pc without going to Bios.



Q: Why Avast Antivirus has this kind of option?


A: In theory, hardware-assisted virtualization can make hypervisor-based rootkits possible. However, this type of malware already requires extremely high privileges and is not a particular threat. Furthermore, hardware-assisted virtualization can be used by Windows to supplement its sandbox for added security. It's not a security issue so much as a feature optionally used by one theoretical kind of malware. A hypervisor is software which is able to run a virtual operating system underneath it. The hypervisor, in other words, pretends to be real hardware so the operating system running under it doesn't need to be aware of this fact. Hardware-assisted virtualization (called VT-x for Intel and AMD-V for AMD) is simply a CPU feature that allows hypervisors to run at native performance, as if the hypervisor wasn't there. Avast is capable of using hardware-assisted virtualization to provide better anti-virus protection. However, because this can cause compatibility issues with other software, an option is provided to disable this functionality. That is, if you turn off the "Enable hardware assisted virtualization" you are not telling Avast to disable hardware virtualization on the PC; rather, you are telling Avast not make use of the hardware virtualization functionality itself.
