I have not explored the consequences of turning off the Hyper-V feature, especially with respect to Docker, Oracle VirtualBox, WSL, WSL 2, etc. Thanks for the help, Doug -- Doug Henderson, Calgary, Alberta, Canada - from gmail.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
