The loader relies on Windows's virtualization to work correctly. If your CPU has virtualization disabled at the BIOS level, the cheat will not work. Here's how to turn it on.
1. Get into your BIOS
Two ways to enter your BIOS / UEFI settings.
Windows 11
- Open Settings
- Go to System > Recovery
- Under Advanced startup, click Restart now
- After the PC restarts, choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings > Restart
Windows 10
- Open Settings
- Go to Update & Security > Recovery
- Under Advanced startup, click Restart now
- After the PC restarts, choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings > Restart
Or press a key at boot
Restart your PC and mash Del, F2, or F10 before Windows starts loading. Which key depends on your motherboard - watch the boot screen for a hint like "Press Del to enter setup". Laptops sometimes use F1 or Esc.
2. Enable virtualization
Look for CPU or virtualization settings. BIOS layouts differ, so if the exact menu names below don't match, hunt around under Advanced, CPU Configuration, Overclocking, or Security.
Intel systems
- Navigate to Advanced > CPU Configuration (some BIOS put it under Security)
- Find Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) and set it to Enabled
- Save and exit (usually F10 or an on-screen Save & Exit option)
AMD systems
- Navigate to Advanced > CPU Configuration, OC, or AMD CBS
- Find SVM Mode (Secure Virtual Machine) and set it to Enabled
- Enable NX Mode as well if you see it
- Save and exit (usually F10)
3. Verify it worked
Once Windows boots back up, open msinfo32 (Windows key + R, type msinfo32, Enter). Look for Virtualization-based security in the System Summary. If it says Running, you're set.
If it doesn't show Running yet, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
Then restart. VBS should be Running after that.
Manufacturer-specific guides
If you can't find the settings using the above, your motherboard or PC manufacturer's support site usually has a detailed walkthrough with screenshots:
- ASUS: asus.com/support/faq/1045141
- MSI: msi.com/faq/faq-5390
- Gigabyte: search "how to enable virtualization" on gigabyte.com/Support
- ASRock: asrock.com/support/faq
- Dell / Alienware: dell.com/support
- Lenovo / Legion: support.lenovo.com
- NZXT: support.nzxt.com
- Microsoft general Windows guide: support.microsoft.com
Still stuck?
If you've tried everything and still can't get VBS running, open a ticket with your motherboard model and Windows version.
