I really like the Hyper-V support in Windows 8, however, there are some situations in which I need to disable Hyper-V in order to run some apps which don't like to be executed even in the root partition of the virtualized environment.
What I've been currently doing is disabling the feature completely from the "Add or remove windows features" dialog and restarting, enabling it again when needed.
I would like to know if there's any better way to do this that comes to mind, it could even be a shortcut that i could double-click and will actually add or remove the feature for me and restart (I guess this may be possible with a PowerShell script).
The method your using is the best and only supported method. – Ramhound – 2013-01-22T17:29:02.590
1@Ramhound You can use dism.exe to enable features from the command line. That's how we automate installing .NET 3.5 on Windows 8, for example. In theory you can disable features that way too, but I haven't tried it. – Mark Allen – 2013-01-22T20:05:46.640
