    Hello,

    I am trying to enable nested virtualization support for Windows Phone 8 emulator in Windows 8.1, but Options -> Optimization tab shows "Enable nested virtualization" grayed, leaving me no chance to turn it on. I know there are certain requirements to the hardware and VM, but this is a brand new MacBook Pro Retina with 16 GB RAM. The VM setup shows 4 CPUs and 8GB, so it's a powerful VM.

    Any idea why nested virtualization may be disabled?

    Best regards
    Vagif

    This was easy: I just needed to shutdown the VM and the option became enabled.
