All instances, including Nougat 32-bit, will run as intended and no additional changes by you will be required. To learn more, click here.
How will this help?
If Hyper-V has been enabled in your Windows settings, you may see the following message when you update to the latest version of BlueStacks 5 Nougat 64-bit, Pie 64-bit or Android 11.
This article illustrates the steps to be followed.
Why does BlueStacks 5 need to be optimized?
If Hyper-V is enabled on your desktop/laptop when you update to BlueStacks Nougat 64-bit, Pie 64-bit or Android 11, then a one-time optimization of BlueStacks is required before launch.
1. On the pop-up that appears, click on "Continue" to proceed with the optimization, as shown below.
2. BlueStacks 5 will now perform a one-time optimization.
Once this is complete, BlueStacks 5 will launch and you can begin playing your favorite Android games.
Thank you for choosing BlueStacks 5. We hope you enjoy using it. Happy Gaming!
