Virtual Machine could not be started because hypervisor is not running.

-
I have windows 10 on my laptop. I have hyper-v on it and had created few virtual machines and have worked on it couple of months ago.
Now when i try to start the vm today, i get the "Virtual Machine could not be started because hypervisor is not running".
Only thing i changed was, i changed the power options (sleep/hibernate) last week.
I did some research in this forum. The services window shows that "Hyper-V virtual machine management " is running.
When i did net start hvboot, i get error saying "The service name is invalid".
Pls help

Hi Swamitj,
Did you check the virtualization settings in BIOS? Make sure is is turned on.
Also turn on hyper-v hypervisor feature from control panel.Thank you,
Karim

I tried both BCedit and the control panel, as suggested by both of you. However when i tried the control panel enable, it was grayed out, so i was not able to enable it.
I went back to the BIOS and intel virtualization was disabled. I dont know how it happened. Probably a bios update?. Because i had explicitly enabled it and was using my hyper-v until it stopped working. Anyhow, i enabled it, and it is working now!
