This is just a quick tutorial to teach you how to remove “Virtual Machine:yes” from task manager in windows 10. I can’t confirm it will work for windows 8 but I will assume it will. Make sure your VM is fully powered off.

Open your VM’s .vmx file with notepad++ add the following lines in;

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”

vhv.enable = “TRUE”

vpmc.enable = “TRUE”

mce.enable = “TRUE”

vhu.enable = “TRUE”

It should look like this:



(no it doesn’t need to be in the same order as in the photo T_T)

After this save changes and navigate to your VM hardware settings tab, click the processors option and be sure both of these are checked.

Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI Virtualize CPU performance counters.

After you’ve successfully followed the steps above your VM’s task manager should be saying this:



Congratulations! You’ve successfully hidden your VM from task manager!

Happy baitin’!
