You can turn off VM support in your BIOS settings. Which brand and model of your motherboard are you using?
What leads you to suspect you might have an infection?
I understand that using Win 10 Pro with an Oracle VirtualBox instance leads to frequent mentions of "VirtualBox" or "VBox" in the Registry, even though the guest operating system doesn't have the software installed.
Are you referring to device protection? It was turned off, yet HyperV remained running in the operating system. I own a Legion 5 laptop.
You can observe the active rules established by an HyperV system.
I am not an expert in VM settings, but these appear to be standard configurations that cause the system to return to the host. The power of Google (turning off Hyper-V on Windows 11) offers several ways to disable this behavior. You haven’t clarified what concerns you about having an infection or issue? Have you used any tools or apps to check your system for malware? Have you looked through any related information?
The file Host is infected. When attempting to add firewall rules, the system automatically creates an open rule in Allow App via Windows Defender, rendering all existing rules ineffective. Any AV or firewall software installed will fail to upload to the latest protections, causing their safeguards to be bypassed. Exceptions include firewall attacks that appear temporarily blocked and abuse of svchost.exe or other files attempting to modify system settings. The default Health/Defense Windows App remains disabled, and this cannot be altered via the registry. Internet connections frequently drop due to invalid TCP/IP network drivers without clear cause.
