vmware in windows 10 - amazon-ec2

I am using Amazon windows 10(2016 server) server for running my application.I need to run VMware in windows but it shows,
VMware Player and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system before running VMware Player.
I did not install Hyper-V even though VMware is not working, showing above statement.

If Hyper-V is installed you will need to uninstall it for VMWare to run, you can do this by:
Press the Windows key + X
Then go to `Programs and Features`
Click Turn Windows Features on or off
Open Hyper-V
Toggle if off and then click okay.
Note: you may need to restart the virtual machine afterwards.

Not able to log back into my Windows machine after Hyper-v installation

I have a Windows 10 machine. Recently I have installed Hyper-V 2016 server on my machine. From then whenever I start my system I only see a blue screen with various commands. I do not see any other thing other than that. Now how can I go back to my normal Windows machine?
See this image for reference:
you had Windows 10 installed on your machine now you have Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2016.
I assume you downloaded an ISO and installed that one. Whereas within Windows 10 you only have to activated a feature called Hyper-V.
Grap your latest Backups and install Windows 10 back onto your machine.

Hyper-V not working in Windows 2012R2 Datacenter

since yesterday I had my Windows 2012R2 Datacenter server correctly running Hyper-V machines.
After a windows update I'm not able to start any of the VMs and get a message that say Hypervisor not in execution.
If I check from services I don't see the service but from server manager the hyperv role seems to be running.
From windows features list i don't see anymore the Hyper-v (i wanted to uninstall and reinstall it).
Any suggestion?
It is unlikely that Windows updates have deleted any services.
You should still be able to see the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service even if it is stopped or running/broken.
If not, I suggest that you re-install the Hyper-V role.

Docker For Windows kills my network on Windows 10 Bootcamp

Running Windows 10 Pro in bootcamp on my Mac. When I install Docker for Windows, the system reboots after enabling HyperV and when it comes back, my network adapters are dead. Any solutions for this? I'm not a Windows guy, and not very familiar with how the network drivers work. They all appear to be set up correctly, but the main Windows driver just wont fire up.
For testing, you can use the alternative approach of:
not enabling the Hyper-V feature
add a VirtualBox for Windows on that Windows 10 pro (in Mac bootcamp)
See if you can create containers with the -d virtualbox driver instead of relying on Hyper-V.

complete windows app development on hyper-v virtual machine

I am about to buy a Windows 8 enabled machine and I intend to write a windows mobile app. I don't have access to any windows 8 machine but I am really curious about one feature.
Can I use hyper-v virtual machine of windows 8.1 guest OS to emulate windows phones? I mean complete app development in virtual machine itself. I suspect that virtualization of hardware could be a problem like in windows 7 virtual machine on oracle VirtualBox.
I intend not to install visual studio on host OS, probably its the best way to keep it working for years. Windows OS is touchy.
It is possible, but not with Hyper-V. You have to use VMWare. VMWare supports nested virtualization. You disable Hyper-V in your host OS, install VMWare, enabled nested virtualization in VMWare and than you can install and enable Hyper-V (needed by the emulators) in the guest OS.

Windows 8.1 phone emulator in Windows 8.1 VM?

I connect to a Windows 8.1 Pro VM through Hyper-V running on Windows Server 2008.
It looks like in order to run the Windows 8.1 phone emulator, you need to be running Windows 8.1 Pro that is capable on running Hyper-V.
Since I am already connecting to Windows through a VM, will I not be able to enable the necessary Hyper-V features to be able to start the Windows phone emulator?
An often found solution is to run the VM inside VMWare. This allows you to enable Hyper-V inside the virtual machine. Here's a detailed step-by-step guide.
As an alternative, it appears to be possible to enable Hyper-V inside the VM using the powershell command Add-WindowsFeature -name RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools, as found on this blog.
Both of these scenario's are unsupported, but appear to work fine.
