I'm trying to open VMware, it says that VMware player and Hyper-V are not compatible. I found it here, but it's not working using the command it offers.

I tried to see the help, found that there's /hypervisorsettings option there. But still not work with it, it says The parameter is incorrect.

Can anyone help with this?

In an elevated Command Prompt write this :

To disable:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

To enable: 

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

(From comments - restart to take effect)
