It controls what amount of CPU time each partition gets. The (bare metal) hypervisor called Windows Hypervisor - the software that runs on the machine with the highest level of privilege. To discuss this you first need to know the different components of a virtualization stack: ![]() It means while you can continue to use WSL2 and the latest VMWare/VirtualBox software on Windows 11, you cannot use older releases of VMWare Workstation or VirtualBox on Windows 11 with their own hypervisor. This feature is called "Core Isolation" in Windows Defender and KVCI in various documentations. Virtualization based security features are enabled by default (even though it can be disabled through configurations, for now). This is clearly communicated in the supported configurations: your CPU must support x86 virtualization extensions and it must be turned on in Bios/UEFI. Compared to it being an optional feature on Windows 10, Microsoft demands everyone to be using Windows Hypervisor with Windows 11.
