error message about virtual machines needs improvementAnswered
From turboactivate.h among others: “The function failed because this instance of your program is running inside a virtual machine / hypervisor and you've prevented the function from running inside a VM.”
The message is misleading when it says inside a virtual machine, since it is also triggered by Windows's hypervisor settings merely being enabled. Google will tell you that this is not the same thing. Improving this message will help a lot of end users resolve the issue without having to ask for help.

Google is wrong.
Being inside a hypervisor is being inside of a VM (even if you're in the “host” machine – because that “host” machine is *also* in a VM).
