Unable to remove hyper-v

I am on Win10 pro x64 build 1909 and am trying to remove they hyper-v component. Everytime i do the PC reboots, I see it say 15% then "can't complete the feature, undoing changes" and it reboots again with hyperv installed. i did some searching and saw some DISM and sfc commands but neither seemed to have helped the situation and now its frustrating.

not normally a windows user so unsure which logs to check for more details. another thing i saw was to remove visual studio which i never had installed. i did install the build tools, but also tried to remove those with no success.

any thoughts on this to get this removed so i can use some other virtualization software?

Why do you want to remove it? If you're not using it, it really has very little impact on your system. There are a few programs that are incompatible with Hyper-v installed, is that why you want to install it? If you want to install VMWare workstation, they recently released a new "preview" version that is compatible with Hyper-V installed. If it's some other reason, i'm curious to know.

i would simply like to remove the unused component without reinstalling windows. please let me know if my reasoning is important to the technical solution to this issue. at this point i spent long enough trying to get this removed i dont want to just give up on it. is the desire important to the technical solution?

so i attempted what you said but instead used virtualbox. with hyperv installed i am unable to launch 64bit guests as i cannot enable the right setting. this is a technical issue that requires removing hyperv which should help with the question asked

"can't complete the feature, undoing changes" message indicates serious win10 problem, it must be solved first. Some hint:
- take a system image using reflect
- perform an in-place upgrade.

what do you mean with those last two? what is reflect? and i show no new windows updates and am on the latest release (1909) so there is nothing to upgrade to. i figure its problem but not sure where i am supposed to find details to resolve it

A way to make a backup image of your system's partitions that can be restored to put your system back to exactly how it was when you made the image, should any changes you try go badly wrong.

... am on the latest release (1909) so there is nothing to upgrade to...

An in-place repair upgrade using the same 1909 as you already have will reinstall Windows, keeping all your installed apps and files, but will repair damaged system files and registry settings.
