Tizen emulator incompatible with WLS2

Question

I found out that the settings required to run tizen emulator on win10 are incompatible with WSL2. Specifically the hypervisorlaunchtype must be set to off for it to work, which prevents WSL2 from launching. I created two scripts to turn it on and off if needed, they are in the answer, but the only thing they do is elevate themselves and run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype (auto/off). If anyone managed to get the two to play nice together please do show us how. Hope this will help someone in the future.

Answer 1

Thank you for this post. I discovered this as well and posted a bug on MS WSL

I was hoping they would have a more elegant solution than manually changing the hypervisor setting, but the response was: "Conflicting hypervisors can't be running at the same time" :(

Answer 2

Script to turn hypervisor off (tizen emulator works):

If (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator))
{
  # Relaunch as an elevated process:
  Start-Process powershell.exe "-File",('"{0}"' -f $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path) -Verb RunAs
  exit
}
# Now running elevated so launch the script:
& bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Script to turn hypervisor on (WSL2 works):

If (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator))
{
  # Relaunch as an elevated process:
  Start-Process powershell.exe "-File",('"{0}"' -f $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path) -Verb RunAs
  exit
}
# Now running elevated so launch the script:
& bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
