Disabling Hyper-v on Windows 10

Yes, I know there are already many questions about how to disable hyper-v in windows 10 but none of them seem to work for me.

What I tried so far but without success:

  • Disable-Windows-OptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All
  • dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All
  • bcdedit /set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype off
  • Disable/Enable Virtualization-Based-Security in Windows-Group-Policies
  • Disabling Hyper-V and Windows-Hypervisor in Windows-Features
  • Found a VB script on the internet but it also didn't work

    Option Explicit
    
    Dim backupfile
    Dim record
    Dim myshell
    Dim appmyshell
    Dim myresult
    Dim myline
    Dim makeactive
    Dim makepassive
    Dim reboot
    record=""
    Set myshell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    
    If WScript.Arguments.Length = 0 Then
        Set appmyshell  = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
        appmyshell.ShellExecute "wscript.exe", """" & WScript.ScriptFullName &     """ RunAsAdministrator", , "runas", 1
        WScript.Quit
    End if
    
    Set backupfile = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If Not (backupfile.FileExists("C:\bcdedit.bak")) Then
        Set myresult = myshell.Exec("cmd /c bcdedit /export c:\bcdedit.bak")
    End If
    
    Set myresult = myshell.Exec("cmd /c bcdedit")
    Do While Not myresult.StdOut.AtEndOfStream
        myline = myresult.StdOut.ReadLine()
    
        If myline="The boot configuration data store could not be opened." Then
            record=""
            exit do
        End If
        If Instr(myline, "identifier") > 0 Then
            record=""
            If Instr(myline, "{current}") > 0 Then
                record="current"
            End If
        End If
        If Instr(myline, "hypervisorlaunchtype") > 0 And record = "current" Then
            If Instr(myline, "Auto") > 0 Then
                record="1"
                Exit Do
            End If
            If Instr(myline, "On") > 0 Then
                record="1"
                Exit Do
            End If
            If Instr(myline, "Off") > 0 Then
                record="0"
                Exit Do
            End If
        End If
    Loop
    
    If record="1" Then
        makepassive = MsgBox ("Hypervisor status is active, do you want set to passive? ", vbYesNo, "Hypervisor")
        Select Case makepassive
        Case vbYes
            myshell.run "cmd.exe /C  bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off"
            reboot = MsgBox ("Hypervisor chenged to passive; Computer must reboot. Reboot now? ", vbYesNo, "Hypervisor")
            Select Case reboot
                Case vbYes
                    myshell.run "cmd.exe /C  shutdown /r /t 0"
            End Select
        Case vbNo
            MsgBox("Not Changed")
        End Select
    End If
    
    If record="0" Then
        makeactive = MsgBox ("Hypervisor status is passive, do you want set active? ", vbYesNo, "Hypervisor")
        Select Case makeactive
        Case vbYes
            myshell.run "cmd.exe /C  bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto"
            reboot = MsgBox ("Hypervisor changed to active;  Computer must reboot. Reboot now?", vbYesNo, "Hypervisor")
            Select Case reboot
                Case vbYes
                    myshell.run "cmd.exe /C  shutdown /r /t 0"
            End Select
        Case vbNo
            MsgBox("Not Changed")
        End Select
    End If
    
    If record="" Then
        MsgBox("Error: record can't find")
    End If
    

Does anyone have a solution besides what is listed above?
