## Overview According to the publisher, LDPlayer released a version on March 5, 2026 that runs with Windows Hyper-V enabled. Many earlier emulators needed Hyper-V turned off for good performance. This guide explains what changed and how to choose whether Hyper-V stays on or off for your use.
## Why the setting matters
Hyper-V is the Windows virtualization feature. According to the publisher, many earlier Android emulators needed Hyper-V turned off to run well. The publisher says this version works with Hyper-V on, so you can keep Windows features that depend on it. You still need to test the setting on your own PC, because results depend on the games and the hardware.
## Choose a Hyper-V setting
| Your use | Suggested setting | Reason, according to the publisher | | — | — | — | | WSL, Docker, or virtual machines | Keep Hyper-V on | These tools need Hyper-V, and LDPlayer can run alongside them. | | Lighter games or one instance | Keep Hyper-V on | The publisher says this mode is tuned for stable performance. | | Several instances, several accounts, or demanding games | Consider turning Hyper-V off | The publisher says this gives the emulator more hardware resources. |
## Verify LDPlayer opens and runs an instance with the Hyper-V setting you chose.
## What to expect
After you change the setting, restart the PC if Windows asks. Open LDPlayer and run one instance with the setting that matches your use. Then run the game or workload you care about. Watch how steady the frame rate stays, and how long the instance takes to open. Compare the same test on both settings before you decide. Results depend on your hardware.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- The publisher says this version fixes several known issues and removes the need to choose between Hyper-V and the emulator.
- In high-load setups, such as many instances or demanding games, the publisher says turning Hyper-V off can still perform better. Test both settings on your own PC.
- The effect on your PC depends on your hardware.
## Common mistakes
- Turning Hyper-V off for WSL or Docker. These tools need Hyper-V. Turning it off stops them from working.
- Skipping the restart. Windows may not apply the change until you restart.
- Deciding from one test. Run the same game on both settings before you choose.
