VMWare Player and HyperV in Windows 8.1

When installing VMWare (or running) you get a message to uninstall HyperV if it is enabled - something to do with HyperV using hardware virtualization. Instead of uninstalling, you can turn it off:

// to disable hyper-v bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

// to enable hyper-v bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

A reboot is required.
