My machine is HP EliteBook 8540w which supports Hyper-V as far as I know and I have enabled it in BIOS. However, I am receiving the following error when trying to start emulator for Windows Phone apps in Visual Studio 2015:
Windows Phone Emulator is unable to start because the hypervisor is not running.
The more detailed screen shot follows:
According to my i7-720QmCPU specs, it supports VT-d

So what is the reason for it being unable to start the emulator on my machine?
Update:
I also checked using the BIOS settings using coreinfo tool with the results as in the following picture:

Update:
Following stijnvangaal's comment, I ran the following command as administrator and rebooted.
'bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto'
But, in the wake of next run I faced the following Window ("Virtual machine service not running")

Then, I started this (by clicking the link on the message box):

Under, action menu, I clicked "start service" and then ran the application again in visual studio. Success? Not yet unfortunately, ending up in this (feeling desperate):

I had the same issue : 1 - I disable the Hyper V mode in the Windows Feature :
2 - Restart the computer
3 - Enable Hyper V again in the Windows Feature.
And it works ! Hope it help :)
