How to Enable VT in ASUS BIOS for LDPlayer
LDPlayer needs hardware virtualization turned on in the computer's BIOS or UEFI firmware. This guide shows how to turn on Intel VT or AMD SVM on ASUS desktops and laptops. BIOS screens and key names vary by model, so check each label agains
Before You Start
Prerequisites: Save your open work in Windows. The computer restarts during this process.; Find out whether your processor is Intel or AMD. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, select the **Performance** tab, then select **CPU**. The processor name appears there.; Back up files you cannot replace. Changing the wrong BIOS setting can cause startup problems.
Step-by-Step
- Restart the computer.
- Press the BIOS key repeatedly while the screen is on.
- If neither works, try the Esc key or the F9 to F12 keys. On a laptop, press Fn with those keys.
- On the first screen that appears, select Enter Setup.
- Switch to Advanced Mode with a click or the F7 key.
- Confirm with Yes.
- Go to Advanced > CPU Configuration.
- Change Intel Virtualization Technology from Disabled to Enabled.
- Save the change with F10.
- Exit the BIOS.
## Overview LDPlayer needs hardware virtualization turned on in the computer’s BIOS or UEFI firmware. This guide shows how to turn on Intel VT or AMD SVM on ASUS desktops and laptops. BIOS screens and key names vary by model, so check each label against your screen.
Intel calls the feature Virtualization Technology (VT). AMD calls it AMD-V, and BIOS menus often label it Secure Virtual Machine (SVM). Both do the same job for LDPlayer, but the menu item has a different name.
## What to expect After you save and exit, the computer restarts into Windows. Nothing else should change.
To confirm the setting, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, then select CPU. The Virtualization line should read Enabled. Then open LDPlayer. If it starts without a virtualization warning, the setting is working.
## Why this works LDPlayer runs Android inside a virtual machine. Hardware virtualization lets the processor run that virtual machine efficiently. The setting lives in the BIOS or UEFI firmware, which loads before Windows starts, so Windows usually cannot change it for you.
## Common mistakes
- Pressing the BIOS key after the Windows logo appears. Restart and start pressing the key earlier.
- Changing a different item, such as a boot or security option. Change only the virtualization item.
- Using the Intel item on an AMD processor, or the reverse. Check your processor first.
- Exiting without saving. Press F10 and confirm before you exit.
## Security note
- Risk: Virtualization is a hardware feature in the BIOS. Turning it on does not disable Windows security features. It does make the processor’s virtualization features available to software on the PC, so leave it on only if you use LDPlayer or other virtualization software.
- How to revert: Restart, open the BIOS, set the virtualization item back to Disabled, press F10, and save. LDPlayer and other virtualization software will not start until you enable it again.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- If your processor is AMD, open CPU Configuration and change Secure Virtual Machine (SVM Mode) from Disabled to Enabled. Then save with F10 and exit.
- Menu names and key assignments can differ by BIOS version. Use the labels on your screen.
- If LDPlayer still reports a virtualization error after the change, check the troubleshooting entries in the Related list.
