VMware Workstation and Hyper-V are not compatible

After I upgraded my workstation to Windows 10,  I am no longer able to power on guest OS on VMware operating system and received error as below

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

After some searching, I found that it is caused by ‘hypervisorlaunchtype’ on windows loader is set to ‘Auto’.

Disable Hyper-V

To disable Hyper-V role, follow the steps below

•  Open ‘cmd’ prompt with elevated privileges i.e.) with Administrator access
• To disable Hyper-V, run following command

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

• Restart computer
