    Can your question be summarized as "how to remain on a specific version of Windows 10"? There isn't a key that will prevent the removal of Hyper-V since the method you have used to install Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home is not actually supported.

  • I went ahead and flagged as a duplicate of two questions, with solutions, to what I believe will stop feature update from being installed which is likely the "updates" that cause your unofficial workaround to be reversed.

  • @Ramhound, well, this hack actually worked for more than a year now, and I have had many Windows updates (any insider update, feature upgrade, cumulative updates) and HyperV was persistent until now. Commented Mar 27, 2023 at 16:01
  • The reasons I voted to flag as a duplicate had less to do with the fact you are enabling Hyper-V on Windows 10 Home, and more to do with the fact, I strongly believe configuring Windows 10 NOT to install future feature updates will keep your unofficial workaround working. You indicated that "Every time there is a Windows update", which suggest you are repeating the unspecific process, weekly and even if that is the case the removal of Hyper-V shouldn't effect your Hyper-V VMs (just your ability to turn them on).

  • @Ramhound, I do know keeping Windows 10 from updating (specific updates) will keep the workaround, but the goal was to keep the workaround even with the updates, and it actually worked (really don't know how). I even did a win10 to win11 upgrade and still it worked. When I meant Every time there is a Windows update I meant as of now (recent 2 or 3 updates) not the past ones, I guess that was really confusing, sorry. Commented Mar 27, 2023 at 16:13
