"This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory". All my virtualization is working and I am able to launch VMware and Virtual Box as well, however, Docker refuses to launch and keeps giving this error.
I am unable to find the option for AMD-v in my BIOS, but I checked msinfo.exe
Hyper-V - VM Monitor Mode Extensions Yes
Hyper-V - Second Level Address Translation Extensions Yes
Hyper-V - Virtualization Enabled in Firmware Yes
Hyper-V - Data Execution Protection Yes
its all fine, but docker is unable to detect Hyper-v

Please help

Very similar to #873

Have you tried DockerToolbox-18.09.0.exe ? All newer versions didn't work for me.

@MMarif Docker Toolbox doesn't use Hyper-V, and in fact having Hyper-V installed will prevent it from using VirtualBox properly.

If you're wanting to use docker-machine with Hyper-V, then this issue is something for the docker/machine issues and not toolbox related (which technically only uses VirtualBox without advanced customization).

If you just want to use local docker can you describe your setup more?
What Windows Edition?
What Docker Toolbox version did you install?

Possibly related to #830

Installed using

Destination location:
      C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox

Setup type:
      Custom installation

Selected components:
      Docker Client for Windows
      Docker Machine for Windows

Additional tasks:
      Create a desktop shortcut
      Add docker binaries to PATH
      Upgrade Boot2Docker VM

Already have Git and VirtualBox installed and runs machines fine without issues. Using Windows 10 Home which does not support Hyper-V without running scripts (see also this forum post).
As @d-sphinx wrote 18.09.0 works fine and starting with 18.09.1 it fails. Note that apparently the only changes between these versions are upgraded components:
v18.09.0...v18.09.1

I can confirm that 18.09 worked for me, while all of the above versions resulted in 'amd-v/intel-v not enabled' error, while i do have this option enabled in bios and run linux/windows guests in virtualbox/vmware many times.

This works for me as well, thanks, later versions stuck with same error even if virtual box default enable in bios.

The same issue here, with v18+ could progress but not finish, just disable hyper-v by control panel isn't enough.

What I did to solve is, on command prompt with admin rights:
bcdedit, check if hyper is set to auto, that was the case, so:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off,

This did not work for me. I will try installing an older version of docker.
