Make Room for VirtualBox: Toggle Hyper-V On/Off
Raw
toggle-hyper-v.md

I tried running these commands in PowerShell, but bcdedit commands would not work even as Admin.

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Hyper-V" 
# The entry was successfully copied to {01afc27f-do-not-use-5e2f3b11ce9a}. 

bcdedit /set {01afc27f-do-not-use-5e2f3b11ce9a} hypervisorlaunchtype off 
# The operation completed successfully.

To access this new boot menu, click the Windows Key, then Power and Restart but hold down Shift while clicking Restart with the mouse.
