Hyper-V-Switch 1.0

Hyper-V-Switch by RaynerSec is a lightweight Windows utility that lets you quickly toggle Microsoft Hyper-V and related virtualization components, so you can move seamlessly between workloads that require Hyper-V (such as WSL 2, Docker Desktop, or native Hyper-V VMs) and tools that conflict with it (such as VMware Workstation, VirtualBox, certain Android emulators, or some game anti-cheat systems). It streamlines the switch that normally requires multiple settings changes and a reboot, reducing friction in mixed virtualization workflows.

Key features

• One-step switching between Hyper-V–enabled and Hyper-V–disabled modes
• Optional creation of separate boot entries to choose your mode at startup
• Reversible changes that preserve your existing VMs and networking setups
• Sensible handling of related Windows virtualization features to minimize conflicts
• Clear prompts and status feedback; requires administrator rights and a reboot

Typical use cases

• Running WSL 2/Docker during development, then switching to VMware or VirtualBox for cross-platform testing
• Enabling Hyper-V for native Windows VMs, then disabling it for emulators or software that won’t run alongside the Windows hypervisor
• Quickly troubleshooting virtualization-related compatibility issues

How it works
Hyper-V-Switch updates Windows boot configuration to enable or disable the Hyper-V hypervisor and, when appropriate, adjusts associated optional components to match your chosen mode.

Notes

• Compatible with Windows 10/11 on hardware that supports virtualization
• Changes are safe and reversible, but turning off certain virtualization-based security features may reduce system protections
• Always save your work; a restart is required to apply changes
