How can I disable Hyper-V using windows powershell?

I know there a lot of questions on this but after reading and trying a few of the solutions I can't seem to find solve/understand my problem any better.

I'm trying to run VMware work station, but on set up I get the error: Hyper-v or device/credential guard enabled. After opening the powershell and running systeminfo a hyper visor has been detected.

The first solution I tried to disable this, was to use the control panel and turn windows features on or off. Only when I open it I don't get the options I expect. The post I read: said there would be an expandable hyper-v folder. On my panel there is no such folder, I just have a single non expandable folder titled: windows hyperverisor platform which is unchecked

enter image description here

I Then tried a running the powershell as an administrator and using the following command: Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All

But this resulted in the following error: Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Feature name Microsoft-Hyper-V-All is unknown.

I then read another post about still having Network adaptors form the hyper-v kind but I'm new to fiddling around with operating systems etc and I couldn't understand/follow the method.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

You have WSL enabled, which basically blocks you Workstation installation. You can either update to 2004 or disable WSL.
