How do you check to see if Hyper-V is enabled using PowerShell?

Question

I am trying to write a PowerShell script that checks the Windows Optional Features to see if Hyper-V is installed. However, my code is not working. Even when Hyper-V is disabled, the script outputs that it is already enabled.

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator

# Get the Hyper-V feature and store it in $hyperv
$hyperv = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online

# Check if Hyper-V is already enabled.
if($hyperv.State = "Enabled") {
    Write-Host "Hyper-V is already enabled."
} else {
    Write-Host "Hyper-V is disabled."
}

There is no error when the code is run.

Here's the full powershell script that works for me. Just copy and paste it into an elevated powershell then press enter.

$hyperv = Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All -Online
# Check if Hyper-V is enabled
if($hyperv.State -eq "Enabled") {
    Write-Host "Hyper-V is enabled."
} else {
    Write-Host "Hyper-V is disabled."
}
