Add check for `vmcompute` service (Hyper-V) #4725

gbraad · 2025-04-11T13:49:32Z

We might want to add

 	checkComputeServiceRunning := `@(Get-Service vmcompute).Status` 
 	stdOut, _, err := powershell.Execute(checkComputeServiceRunning)

to the function:

crc/pkg/crc/preflight/preflight_checks_windows.go

Lines 61 to 84 in ff3e7ae

    
           func checkHyperVInstalled() error { 
        
           	// check to see if a hypervisor is present. if hyper-v is installed and enabled, 
        
           	checkHypervisorPresent := `@(Get-Wmiobject Win32_ComputerSystem).HypervisorPresent` 
        
           	stdOut, _, err := powershell.Execute(checkHypervisorPresent) 
        
           	if err != nil { 
        
           		logging.Debug(err.Error()) 
        
           		return fmt.Errorf("Failed checking if Hyper-V is installed") 
        
           	} 
        
           	if !strings.Contains(stdOut, "True") { 
        
           		return fmt.Errorf("Hyper-V not installed") 
        
           	} 
        
           	checkVmmsExists := `@(Get-Service vmms).Status` 
        
           	_, stdErr, err := powershell.Execute(checkVmmsExists) 
        
           	if err != nil { 
        
           		logging.Debug(err.Error()) 
        
           		return fmt.Errorf("Failed checking if Hyper-V management service exists") 
        
           	} 
        
           	if strings.Contains(stdErr, "Get-Service") { 
        
           		return fmt.Errorf("Hyper-V management service not available") 
        
           	} 
        
           	return nil 
        
           }

to verify if the actual compute service is running.

If we stop the service with Stop-Service vmcompute and run crc start the service is automatically started, in a similar way the HvHost service doesn't seem to affect the VM, if we stop the HvHost service and run crc start everything works and the service remains in Stopped state
