Good day, ladies and gentlemen, just recently decided to try Xamarin.IOS and Xamarin.Android, I myself downloaded the MacOs image for VMWare, turned off HYPER-V, compiled and launched everything, and spent a little more time smogging I already compiled the first test application on MacOS, decided to try running the test application on Android, but when I tried to start the emulator, Visual Studio reported an error about the inability to start the emulator due to disabled Hyper-V, and I suddenly wondered if it was possible to use something VMWare together with enabled to use Hyper-V so as not to restart the computer and disconnect the virtual machine? Thank you all in advance for your answers!

  • AFAIK is not, it is impossible, because they are competing for hardware virtualization. Well, I once tried to keep Hyper-V and VirtualBox. - D-side
  • @Knopkatyk, thanks for the answer, you even answered the next question I wanted to ask, about the virtualbox. Copy your comment into the Answers, I will mark it as "Solved". - Uladzimir Khadakouski
  • "AFAIK" is "as far as I know." Unfortunately, I did not find a single reliable source that would confirm it to me, I just decided that it was not worth the torment of searching and refused this idea. - D-side
  • @Knapkatyk I just install Xamarin.Android on makos, if I don’t find a way to compile the application from the studio, transfer the project to the shared folder of the virtual machine and the machine, and launch it on macos. - Uladzimir Khadakouski

Hypervisors are fighting for hardware virtualization

Hyper-V is necessary. And once installed, he will retain the rights to it at his home, not giving them to anyone. It can be turned off without deleting (option in the bootloader hypervisorlaunchtype to off with bcdedit ) but this will only work after a reboot.

VMWare Workstation refused, when Hyper-V was installed, to even launch the main window, not to mention virtual machines. He probably also needs hardware virtualization.

VirtualBox without hardware virtualization ... functioning. But very bad , mostly slowly, although some complain about the fall.

So no, it seems that effectively two different hypervisors cannot work on the same machine.
