Hyper V under Windows 8.1 Pro

I am a customer who has just invested in the full version of Windows 8.1 Pro (x64)
NB: There is no client-server relationship here, just one PC.
However, I have important 32-bit only applications that I have found won't even install on this 64-bit OS, and they need a GPU to run them.
PS: Please don't suggest that I do not use the 32-applications, as 64-bit versions are not available. Thank you.
Anyway, so to solve this I have installed a 32-bit Windows version in a VM using Hyper V, and my applications will install ok within that VM. So far, so good.
However, they still won't run because they can't detect the GPU!
How do I get this "RemoteFX vGPU" thing working so they can detect the GPU in my machine?
This must be a very, very common scenario for everyone thinking of upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro.
Will Microsoft help out, or do I need to maintain a second PC just for my 32-bit applications?

Good day.

  • After installing Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Pro, my computer won't boot

    I have a somewhat new (June 2013) HP laptop originally running Windows 8 Pro. I installed the Hyper-V component right away and it was running great. After testing Windows 8.1 Pro on another computer a couple months ago, I decided to upgrade my HP laptop and
    Hyper-V continued to work great after the upgrade.
    Yesterday, after a Windows Update failed, I was not able to boot my laptop. It would hang with the HP Logo and spinning circle at the point when the Boot Manager normally starts up Windows. Trying to do a recovery reported a failure, but no specific reason
    except to say boot failed and that a Restart might correct the error, but it would just hang on the HP Logo every time I would try to boot. I reinstalled the Windows 8.1 Pro OS and the laptop was working fine until I would install Hyper-V. 
    I have gone thru this sequence 3 times. The first time, I pulled the latest Windows Updates, then installed Hyper-V, IIS and some other components and after this install required a Restart, my laptop hung at the HP Logo. The second time, I did not enable
    any Windows Updates, but installed Hyper-V and IIS and again, after the Restart my laptop hung. So, the final time, I only installed Hyper-V and after the Restart, my laptop hung once again.
    Since Hyper-V used to work, it would not seem to make sense that I have a hardware compatibility problem. I have also run the extensive built in firmware Disk tests and other diagnostics taking several hours to complete and these all passed.
    I am now using my laptop without Hyper-V and it is working fine, but I hoping to find a reason/solution for the problem caused by installing Hyper-V so that I can once again install and use it.

    Hi,
    Generally speaking, when you add feature like Hyper-V, system would take a long time to get this feature configured. if your computer still stay updates configuration steps, you can use Windows 8.1 installation image to repair system. In system repair mode,
    you can access into Command Prompt mode, and check CBS.log which located at C:\Windows\logs\CBS. This log file would record Windows installation process, we may find the problem of Hyper-V stallation.

  • Unable to activate Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 pro x64

    Hi there,
    I tried to activate Hyper-V on my desktop :
    1. Add/Remove Features
    2. Add Hyper-V, and all subsets
    3. Click OK.
    4. Click Restart when prompted.
    5. Computer will reboot and then work on configuring features.  I got the error message "Unable to add feature...".
    My configuration :
    MotherBoard : ASRock Z77 pro3
    Processor : Intel I5 3570k
    RAM : 8 Gb
    OS: Windows 8.1 pro x64
    OEM fully activated and updated.
    I checked with intel processor identification utility, and my processor support SLAT (VT -x) and Intel virtualisation. I checked too with some tools (coreinfo, systeminfo), everything is ok..).
    I updated my BIOS and activated the Virtualisation option.
    No way to make it work..
    Can anyone help me ? 

    If you have other virtualisation applications (VMWare, VirtualBox...) installed on your computer then make sure to check in the TaskManager that there is no running processes from those virtual machines. Hyper-V won't install if there are other virtualisation
    processes running.
    One other hint when you get Hyper-V up and running is that you will have to add a boot option so that you are able to boot into Windows without Hyper-V services running if you want to use VMWare in paralell with Hyper-V. VMWare will completely break and have
    to be reinstalled if you try to run a VM inside it while Hyper-V services are running. Trust me, been there done that and it was an ugly mess. :-)

  • Can't install Hyper-V on Windows 8.1 Pro

    I have a Dell XPS L702x laptop with 2 hard drives, one of them has a MBR partition and has Hyper-V running without problems, but in the second drive, which is a SSD disk and has a GPT partition, I can't install it. It seems to install, gets to about 95%
    and then I get a message: "Failure configuring windows features, reverting changes" and then it reboots and reverts the installation attempt.
    I have tried the following commands:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Sfc /scannow
    But no errors were found, and I also run coreinfo with this results:

    Can you clarify what you're trying to do as it's unclear to me? You've got a laptop with two drives, and you've already got Hyper-V installed on the laptop, and you're now trying to install it on the other drive?
    If that's the case then I'm unsure why you think you need to.
    You only have Hyper-V installed once on a machine, and it's ALWAYS installed on the boot partition of the machine because that's how it works. Effectively once installed the Hypervisor sits on the boot partition, and the local copy of Windows becomes a management
    VM running on top of the hypervisor (that's why the VM's you create get as good performance as the host OS does, as they sit alongside each other rather than on top of one another).
    If you're trying to use the second drive (the SSD) for Hyper-V then you simply need to create a new VM from within Hyper-V that you have installed already, and during the installation you're able to choose where to put the VM files, at which point you can
    set it to use the SSD for those files.
    I've got the same setup on my home machine, though in reverse, eg my boot partition is an SSD, and I've got a large HDD that hosts my VMs.

  • BSOD under Windows on MacBook Pro

    When running Windows on my new MacBook Pro, I get occasional BSODs (blue screen of death - kernel panic - operating system crash). It has happened four or five times since I installed Windows on the machine about three weeks ago. Each time that it has happened, I have been doing something different.
    The BSOD reports the reason as "a wait operation, attach process, or yield was attempted from a DPC routine".
    Anyone know what could be happening here or, more importantly, what the fix is?
    alan

    I don't think that this is a FAT vs. NTFS issue because my MBP has been running NTFS since I installed XP on it.
    In researching this issue, I found a program dpclat that reports DPC latency and it believes that some device driver is behaving badly. For the most part, DPC latency is in the red, typically 4000 usec and going as high as 16000 usec.

  • Photoshop elements - 13 - Installation 32 Bit Version under Windows 81.1 pro 64 Bit

    Hallo!
    Sorry "this" is not my language...bad i try it.
    For now, i have the new versions of photoshop elements v13 (and premiere elements 13). I the past i have installed the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version at the same time, at the same machine. but version 13 32 bit dont can install on a 64 bit os. But i need also the 32 bit version - a lot of plugins dont work with the 64 bitversion.
    Is there any possibilty to solve my problem?

    As far as the "no original version" goes, you should also be able to select an option to enter the name and serial number of the older (aka original) version instead of having it already installed.

  • [New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

    Hello,
    i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with  Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
    As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro. 
    - I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
    - i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
    Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
    It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client'  is not usefull for me
    So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.  
    Thanks a lot for tour reply

  • Problems after updating to 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.1 Pro

    Hi,
    After updating my iTunes to the latest version 11.1.3.8 under Windows 8.1 Pro, iTunes in opening fine, but once I start trying to access the Store or my account or to run a diagnostic, iTunes shutts down and the windows message appears advising that a problem occurred on this program and same will be shutt down.
    Has somebody faced same problem? Any solution for it?Thanks

    bman 58, it did help, thank you. I battled this problem for over a month and your solution solved it. Previous recommendations (including two genius bar visits) to uninstall/reinstall iTunes lead to more problems, including iTunes failing to open with an error stating "iTunes cannot open 'itunes library.itl' because it was created with a more recent version of iTunes." Other forum posts to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash and Java got iTunes back to opening, but again crashing when trying to access the store. Copying the QTMovieWin.dll file put iTunes back to rights.

    Well it came installed on my brand new Windows 8 pro w530 I received 4 weeks ago and has never worked. When you try to open power manager it just crashes. If you uninstall it the Lenovo software just keep reinstalling it. If you uninstall the Lenovo PM driver but do not reboot you can then open Power Manager. The minute you reboot the Lenovo software reinstallls the driver. 
    Why would Lenovo install software on a brand new Windows 8 laptop that is broken and useless? Tech support is absolutely no help they transfer you to the software department which wants to charge you to fix a problem that Lenovo created!!! It is crazy!! I was hoping someone here could solve this problem or maybe someone at Lenovo would see this and get the problem resolved. Tech support has been useless. I reported the problem to them at least 5 times.

  • Better Display Driver under Windows 8 than Windows 7 for MacBook Pro Retina?

    Anyone happen to know if the display support for a MacBook Pro Retina is better under Windows 8 than it is under Windows 7?
    Ideally, I would like to be able to run 2880x1800 at True Color as well as have the HDMI out fuction as a second display (maching the behaviour while booted under Max OS X 10.8).
    Under Windows 7, the highest resolution that supports True Color is 1600x1200.  This would be okay if that setting did not distort the picture (everything is slightly squeezed).  At 2880x1800, the highest color depth is High Color (16-bit) which is, well, not something one can actually use if doing graphics work.  On my 27" iMac, 2680x1600 supports True Color as expected.
    Also under Windows 7, the display connected via HDMI is not recognized.
    I've contected both Apple care support and Microsoft support about this, but Apple referred me to Microsoft and Microsoft referrred me back to Apple.
    Thanks,
    Warren
    P.S. Personally, I think it's rediculous to even attempt to do graphics work under Windows, but tell that to the Windwows based corporate world that I freelance in.

    Yes, there is a better display driver for the MacBook Pro Retina while running Windows 7 Pro.
    And, the answer is so obvious, that I feel a little silly having started this thread in the first place!
    The Windows 7 Professional NVIDIA drivers for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M card need to be installed manually by downloading them from NVIDIA directly.
    If you need to do this on your MBPr Boot Camp volume, use this link:
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
    Then, set the pop-up menus based on your MBPr. [Mine were as follows: GeForce; GeForce 600M Series (Notbooks); GeForce GT 650M; Windows 7 64-bit: English (US)]
    What tipped me off to this is that the CUDA drivers need to be downloaded manually on the Mac OS X side to take full advantage of raytracing in Adobe After Effects CS6 and CC.  As soon as I started to run that installer it dawned on me, "Hey, you probably need to install the drivers on the Boot Camp side as well."  And sure enough after doing so, I am able select all of the expected resolutions as well as run 2880 x 1800 at Millions of Colors (32-bit).
    I guess I'm showing my nearly three decades worth of being a Mac user where I'm accustomed to having about everything needed included with the OS.

  • Macbook 15" Pro Retina under Windows 8.1 is constantly overheating because of lack of Iris Pro graphics driver

    This issue must have been raised many times already. The problem is that modern Macbook Pros under Windows are limited to NVidia graphics making Intel Iris Pro graphics unavailable. And Nvidia graphics in its turn produces pretty much heat, sometimes to the point when it "boils" on your lap.
    As an answer to this i heard that Windows is somehow limited (i honestly doubt this in regards to Windows 8.1) and doesn't support dual graphics and other stuff. Well, then give users an option to completely turn off NVidia graphics and use Iris Pro only. Is this possible?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to switch. It requires removal of the BC/Windows and re-installation in EFI mode. W7 has some challenges with EFI mode, but W8+ are much better. If you want to try the EFI method, then
    1. Backup Windows and all your files.
    2. Remove Windows using BCA (do not use any other tools) - Boot Camp: Remove Windows from your Mac
    3. Create a partition of the size you want the Windows to be, using Disk Utility. This should be a Free Space partition.
    4. Use the Windows Installer and choose EFI boot from the USB built using BCA.
    5. Install Windows. The Free Space partition will be split into a 128MB MSR and the remainder as MS Data which will become NTFS during the Windows installation.

  • Windows 8.1 pro hyper-v memory usage

    Hello,
    I'm running windows 8.1 pro on a laptop with 8gb of ram. When running hyper-v i noticed that windows never seems to use more then 85% of the system memory (something that never happened in 8).
    Take a look at the following screenshot:
    Windows says 1247mb available, 120mb free and 1127mb standby! 
    Is this normal? is there any reason why windows refuses to use the standby memory for the VM needs?
    Thanks. 
    Best regards, Johnny Tordgeman.
    My Blog

    So, compare what the hypervisor is allocating to the VM vs. what the VM is consuming.
    They are two different ways of looking at similar (but not equal) things.  In the VM it is the virtual memory manager, outside the VM it is the hypervisor and the physical RAM constraints.
    With Dynamic Memory there is a buffer that is given to the VM but never consumed, as when it is it gets added to.  So there is always a state of the VM running with a little extra, and never consuming all the RAM until the physical RAM resource is consumed
    and the physical limit is reached.
    If your VM is at its maximum that can be assigned using Dynamic Memory, then your applications within the VM could consume it all, as there would be no more allocated to the buffer for the VM.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro not booting after install of Hyper V - ASUS z87 + intel 4670K

    Hi,
    I am running windows 8.1 pro on a intel 4670K 4th Gen Haswell CPU and ASUS z87 plus motherboard. 16gb of kingston hyperx ddr1600 memory.
    I have enabled virtualisation technology in the bios.  CPU has SLAT.... or Extended Page Table, as intel likes to refer to it.
    When I install HyperV platform and management tools the computer configures and reboots
    AFter reboot it brings up the blue window image and spinning circle of dots for a while then reboots. It does the same thing again and then reboots and goings into repair mode and asks me to do a system restore. It then restores to before they HyperV install.
    I've tried turning off xHCI mode (i.e USB 3.0) in the bios as this seemed to be a known issue with some gigabyte boards. This did not rectify the issue
    Updated to latest asus mainboard bios 1405.  Same issue still occurs upon install of hyper V.
    Automatic repair does not work and I have to restore from system restore point.
    I performed a clean boot after installing the feature and it still couldnt boot to windows.. it just sits at windows logo and then restarts a few times and then launches the startup repair. Once the startup repair begins, the only way I can get into windows
    is restoring to a system restore point from before the hyperv feature install.
