Ever noticed vmms.exe keeps restarting?
WARNING: safely shutdown/stop any virtual machines you may have running first. To avoid data loss!
Not a problem, start PowerShell in Admin mode as we are going to change some stuff - keep in mind this will stop Hyper-V related activity which may be useful in the event of a compromised VM where you need to immediately remediate a particular couple set of hosts.
No more process..
This can also be a pain if working with onVUE and the Pearson LockDown Browser..
One last final measure to keep the pesky process down, Windows Key + R and "services.msc"
Right click every running process mentioning Hyper-V / HV and click "Stop" on the service. There is a PowerShell way to do this, but just to be safe.
