Force stop by the process On the server where the virtual machine is running, open the task manager, go to the Details tab 1 , locate the vmwp.exe process that has the GUID for the user name virtual machine then select the 2 and click End Task 3 to force the shutdown.
But sometimes you may no longer need Hyper-V on a machine. This can be the case when you want to run another type 2 hypervisor on the same Windows machine, for example, VirtualBox or a VMware Workstation. Hyper-V can cause issues and you will have to disable and uninstall it.
To start the Hyper-V administration tool, do the following: Click Start, All Programs, Administrative Tools, and then choose Hyper-V Management for the tool to launch.
In an elevated Command Prompt write this :
To disable:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
To enable:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
(From comments - restart to take effect)
You can have a Windows 10 configuration with and without Hyper-V as follows in an Admin prompt:
bcdedit /copy {current} /d "Windows 10 no Hyper-V"
find the new id of the just created "Windows 10 no Hyper-V" bootentry, eg. {094a0b01-3350-11e7-99e1-bc5ec82bc470}
bcdedit /set {094a0b01-3350-11e7-99e1-bc5ec82bc470} hypervisorlaunchtype Off
After rebooting you can choose between Windows 10 with and without Hyper-V at startup

Command line:
dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:microsoft-hyper-v-all
