There is a much better way to handle this issue. Rather than removing Hyper-V altogether, you just make alternate boot to temporarily disable it when you need to use VMWare. As shown here…
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchEasilyBetweenVirtualBoxAndHyperVWithABCDEditBootEntryInWindows81.aspx
C:\>bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Hyper-V"
The entry was successfully copied to {ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea}.
C:\>bcdedit /set {ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea} hypervisorlaunchtype off
The operation completed successfully.
note: The ID generated from the first command is what you use in the second one. Don’t just run it verbatim.
When you restart, you’ll then just see a menu with two options…
- Windows 10
- No Hyper-V
So using VMWare is then just a matter of rebooting and choosing the No Hyper-V option.
If you want to remove a boot entry again. You can use the /delete option for bcdedit.
First, get a list of the current boot entries…
C:\>bcdedit /v
This lists all of the entries with their ID’s. Copy the relevant ID, and then remove it like so…
C:\>bcdedit /delete {ff-23-113-824e-5c5144ea}
As mentioned in the comments, you need to do this from an elevated command prompt, not powershell. In powershell the command will error.
update:
It is possible to run these commands in powershell, if the curly braces are escaped with backtick (`). Like so…
C:\WINDOWS\system32> bcdedit /copy `{current`} /d "No Hyper-V"
