I have the Hyper-V role enabled on Windows 8.1 for VS Express Windows Phone Emulation.

The problem is this error when I try to run a VMWare Player virtual machine:

VMware Player and Hyper-V are not compatible. Remove the Hyper-V role from the system
before running VMware Player.

The workaround is to disable Hyper-V so that you can use VMWare.

To do this open an Administrator Command Prompt,


enter this command and then reboot:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Hyper-V can be enabled again with this command (which also requires a reboot):

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
