How To Enable AMD-V In BIOS, Fix Host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled

If you are installing a virtual machine then you need to enable AMD-V in BIOS to get the virtualization features. This may happen irrespective of Windows versions whether you are using Windows 11, 10, or lower. You might get an error like -
"Error while powering on: This host supports AMD-V, but AMD-V is disabled.

AMD-V might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting.

(1) Verify that the BIOS/firmware settings enable AMD-V.

(2) Power-cycle the host if this BIOS/firmware setting has been changed.

(3) Power-cycle the host if you have not done so since installing VMware Player.

(4) Update the host's BIOS/firmware to the latest version.

This host does not support "AMD RVI" hardware assisted MMU virtualization.
VMware Player does not support the user level monitor on this host.
Module 'MonitorMode' power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine."

Steps enable the AMD V from the BIOS.

1. Restart your PC and press the BIOS key on the keyboard.
2. Go to "Advanced" settings in the BIOS
3. Look for "Advanced CPU Configuration"
4. Find and enable SVM Mode or AMD V.

Restart the PC.
I have done this on MSI B550 Motherboard, your BIOS would have similar options with a different interface.

My SVM mode was listed under 'CPU Features' in the overclocking tab

Thank you my friend. I was stressed out over this. Such a simple fix.

Perfect - Thank you. My MSI front screen on the BIOS was saying Virtualisation Enabled but VMWare (Linux Host) was certainly not convinced. Sure enough, SVM was indeed disabled in the Advanced CPU settings.
