Samsung has officially released the Android 10 for the Galaxy S10 series. You can now download Galaxy S10/S10 Plus Android 10 firmware update from here. Remember that this is the final Android 10 update.

Android 10 for Galaxy S10 – What’s new?

After months of beta testing, the Android 10 has finally been released for the Galaxy S10 lineup. The much-awaited update brings massive changes to Samsung’s UI. The update boasts a number of new features too.

The Android 10 update, to start off, brings the all-new One UI 2.0. It overhauls almost every UI element of its predecessor, the One UI 1.1/1.5.

The One UI 2.0 changes the way the lock screen used to look like. If you have ever used the Samsung Good Lock app, you will find that the inspiration for most of the Android 10’s UI elements comes from the apps you saw in the Good Lock app.

Samsung has completely changed the UI of the camera app. Apart from changing the icons of the camera options, Samsung has added a “More” section where more camera options reside.

The settings application has also received massive updates. Samsung is trying to fit in more content on one visible screen now. The title cards have got a bit smaller with this update. One UI 2.0 also brings a native screen recorder. This is a useful feature for those willing to make a tutorial out of their phone’s screen.

The Dark Mode aka the Night Mode of the Samsung phones has got better. The Dark Mode can now darken the wallpaper too. Samsung has made more apps compatible with the Night Mode.

In terms of the new features, this is not a huge update. Keeping in view Samsung’s track record, it will be safe to say that Samsung might end up adding new features slowly through new smaller software updates.

Galaxy S10 Android 10 update rollout

At the time of writing this, the Android 10 update of Galaxy S10 has rolled out in Germany. If you are living outside Germany, you will not find this update through OTA.

Right now, the only way to download the Android 10 is through a manual procedure. You can install the German Android 10 update on any Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus as long as you have the same model number. For example, the update is out for G970F and G975F. You can find the language options in the firmware which means you don’t have to worry about losing English or your native language.

You will also learn about the Best Perks and also how to unlock COD Mobile perks.

COD Mobile Perks

For the unbeknownst, perks in COD Mobile are like powerups in any other game. Perks give your soldiers special abilities on the battlefield. These special abilities and enormously improve your gameplay. The game-changing perks can transform your defeat into a win. For example, you will find features like improving the recovery speed of your soldiers, you will be able to hide your soldiers from the enemy UAVs, or they can improve the sprint speed of your character. There are dozens of perks in COD Mobile to benefit from.

To ensure maximum benefit from a perk, you must learn about the best ones. Choosing the wrong perks is not going to do any good for your game. A lot of choices in the perks section can also leave you confused which is also why you need to know about the best COD Mobile perks. Before you learn about the best perks, let me show you a few prerequisites to use perks.

COD Mobile Perks Requirements

COD Mobile Perks work only in the Multiplayer Mode.
Perks will not work in the Battle Royale mode.
COD Mobile has 3 Perks: Red, Green, and Blue.
At max, you can use only 3 Perks.
You can use only 1 Perk from each Perk category.
To use at least one perk from each category, you must surpass level 12.

If you are meeting all these prerequisites, you are all good to go ahead and learn more about perks.

Red Perks

This is the very first set of Perks that you will unlock in Call of Duty Mobile. The Red Perks open up at level 4. The following are all the perks of Red Perks.

Fast Recover: It increases the HP recovery rate of your soldier by 35%.

Persistence: With this perk, the scorestreak progression will not reset upon your player’s death, but it doubles the scorestreaks costs.

Lightweight: It increases the sprinting speed of your soldier by 10%. The fail damage is enormously reduced with this Perk.

Flak Jacket: It reduces the damage from explosions by about 35%. This can prove to be a life saviour in many situations.

Skuller: It helps your player move 12% faster when walking or crouching in the game.

Agile: The object mantling becomes quicker. The aiming time of weapons of you stops sprinting is reduced by 85%.

Green Perks

The Green Perks will unlock at level 6. These perks are aimed at making your player prone to enemy attacks. The following are the perks of the Green Perks.

Tracker: The enemy footprints are visible for 4 seconds when they are approaching you. You can easily aim at your enemies with this perk.

Blue Perks

Best COD Mobile Perks — Blue Perks of COD Mobile

This is the last set of Perks in COD Mobile. The first Blue Perk unlocks at level 12. Take a look at the perks of Blue Perks category.

COD Mobile Best Perks

Fast Recover
Agile
Vulture
Toughness
Ghost
Dead Silence
Alert

If you keep getting shot again and again in the game, use the Fast Recover from Red Perks. It will speed up the HP Recovery of your player by 35%. For quicker object mantling, you may go with the Agile Perk, but it’s totally your own choice. My personal choice from the Red Perks is the Fast Recover.

From the Green Perks, pick the Vulture Perk if you don’t want to run out of bullets. It will keep your magazine loaded for the most time. If you want to hide from the enemy UAVs, going with the Ghost Perk is the best choice. If you want to reduce flinch by 60% after being shot, go with the toughness perk. Other green perks are pretty much useless.

From the Blue Perks, the Dead Silence will make your movement completely silent and this is going to help you target enemies without having them turn their heads towards you. The Alert Perk will give you a better idea of where your enemies are.

Remember that you can use only 1 perk from each perk category at one time. The best perks are listed to help you avoid a lot of confusion.

How to activate Perks in COD Mobile

Open Call of Duty Mobile on your phone or in Gameloop.
Click on Multiplayer Mode.
Now click on Loadout on the left side of the screen.
On the lower-right side, you will find Red, Green, and Blue Badges.
Click on each badge and choose your perk one by one. That’s all.

Conclusion

After applying perks to your COD Mobile gameplay, you will note a lot of improvement. This will improve your winning streak in the game. If you have any questions related to these perks or this guide, feel free to use the comment section below. I will ensure to get back to you as soon as possible.

How to fix Galaxy Note 10 Speaker Distortion — Galaxy Note 10 Plus Speaker - Picture @ Usama M

Does your Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10 Plus have a distortion in its speaker? Take a look at this guide to fix Galaxy Note 10 Speaker Distortion. You can apply multiple solutions to get rid of that distortion.

Galaxy Note 10 Speaker Distortion

Both the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus are two of the most expensive Samsung smartphones. Any minor issue occurring out of nowhere can get the Note 10 owners scratching their heads. Recently, a number of Galaxy Note 10 owners started reporting the speaker distortion problem in a Reddit thread.

Galaxy Note 10 comes with two speakers. The stereo speakers setup has 1 speaker at the bottom and one speaker is at the top of the screen. Both speakers work together to produce a stereo sound. Galaxy Note 10 is also equipped with features like Dolby Atmos. The sound enhancement options of this phone can take the sound experience to a whole new level.

The distortion faced by the Galaxy Note 10 owners includes an eery sound when they are listening to a podcast. The issue also happens when someone in a video speaks a little louder. Note 10’s back around its camera vibrates, which is pretty normal. The rear of phones like Galaxy S10, S10 5G, and S10 Plus also vibrates. So, Note 10’s rear vibrating with sound effects is normal, but if it’s sound is being distorted, it definitely has an issue.

Furthermore, a user reported that the distortion happens only when you are listening at full volume. Note 10’s speakers are designed to output any level of sound smoothly, the distortion should not happen in the first place regardless of the volume level.

Fortunately, the solution to this problem was also presented by a couple of users. If you have been facing this problem, take a look at the steps below to fix it right away.

Fix Galaxy Note 10 Speaker Distortion

On your phone, pull down the notifications panel to access toggles and turn on “Dolby Atmos”.
Long-press the Dolby Atmos button to access its settings. Set it to Auto for automatic sound optimization. If you are listening to podcasts, set it to Voice.
On your phone, go to settings > sounds and vibration > advanced sound settings > sound quality and effects > equalizer> if it set to custom, set it to a pre-defined equalizer.
Play something on your phone and check the sound now. The distortion will be gone.

Conclusion

That’s how easy it was to fix the Galaxy Note 10 speaker distortion. The Dolby Atmos on a new phone is turned off by default. Also, if you had it turned on previously, a new update can turn it off. Dolby Atmos can significantly enhance the sound output of the Galaxy phones that support it. By now, you have hopefully fixed this problem.

The way the characters appear on the screen, they can definitely give the players a chilling experience. If you have a weak heart, you better stay away from this game. But if you are love sudden appearances of nightmarish characters, you should definitely give this game a try.

Untethered vs semi-untethered vs tethered vs semi-tethered Jailbreak Differences

Cydia Icon

Jailbreaking your iPhone can sometimes be overwhelming. Especially, when you’re new to Jailbreak, and you have no idea what a Jailbreak process means. The terms untethered, semi-untethered, tethered, and semi-tethered can confuse the new Jailbreakers. If you are caught in such a situation, this is the guide you need to know. Here are the untethered vs semi-untethered vs tethered vs semi-tethered Jailbreak differences. Before you learn about these terms, let me give you an idea of what Jailbreak is.

Cydia Icon

Jailbreak

The first iPhone was released in 2007. This was a new beginning towards a whole new era of technological advancements in the phone industry. Since 2007, we have seen an enormous amount of innovation when it comes to phones.

The world’s very first smartphone did not appear smart enough to some users and they wanted a little more. As a result, the famous hacker GeoHot ended up Jailbreaking the iPhone in 2009. It was the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone OS 3.0 which was Jailbroken first of all. After that, a world of new possibilities opened up and more iPhone users started joining the Jailbreak brigade.

The idea of Jailbreaking was to install custom scripts, custom apps, to modify the UI, and behaviors or the iPhone OS which is called iOS nowadays.

iOS is known for its security. As soon as a Jailbreak solution came out, Apple was quick enough to patch it. But the Jailbreakers were equally efficient. Every time Apple patched a Jailbreak, a new Jailbreak popped up.

Back in the day, Jailbreak processes were smooth. With security advancements, Jailbreaking an iPhone became difficult. The terms untethered, tethered, semi-untethered, and semi-tethered came in to define the nature of a Jailbreak.

Take a look at differences between untethered vs semi-untethered vs tethered vs semi-tethered Jailbreak now.

Untethered Jailbreak

Untethered Jailbreak is like gold dust among all Jailbreaks. When an iPhone or iPad is pwnd via an untethered jailbreak, it can complete a boot cycle without interrupting the Jailbreak script and processes. This is suitable for an iPhone/iPad used as a daily driver.

In simple words, when your iPhone is untethered jailbroken, it will not lose the Jailbreak upon restarting the iPhone. You can restart as many times as you want and the Jailbreak will keep working without having the need to run the Jailbreak tool again.

While the untethered jailbreak is the most-liked Jailbreak, it is also the most difficult to achieve. That is also one reason to not have the untethered jailbreak so often. Finding the exploits to untethered jailbreak an iPhone can be as challenging as climbing up Mount Everest. The amount of hard work and development required to make a fully functional untethered jailbreak requires a lot of dedication.

The last time we had an untethered jailbreak was on the iOS 9.1 The pangu jailbreak tool allowed pwning the iOS 9.1 through a computer.

semi-untethered Jailbreak

Semi-untethered is not as smooth as the Untethered Jailbreak, but it can be kept on a daily driver iPhone/iPad. The Semi-untethered Jailbreak allows the iOS device to complete a boot cycle, stops working upon rebooting your iPhone. It requires deploying a side-loaded Jailbreak to fully load after rebooting. Thankfully, no computer is needed for this. You can use the side-loaded app to once again deploy the payload.

The Unc0ver and Chimera Jailbreaks are the two biggest and most recent examples of semi-untethered Jailbreak. Unc0ver and Chimera both allowed Jailbreaking the iOS 12.4 and below on all iPhones/iPads powered by A7 – A12 chipsets.

As far as the sideloading of the Jailbreak apps is concerned, you have multiple methods for that. You can either sideload an app/tool via Cydia Impactor, or you can use a service like Ignition, or the Unc0ver’s official site to directly download such apps on your iPhone.

Tethered Jailbreak

Tethered Jailbreak is for Jailbreak Enthusiasts since it temporarily pwns a device. The Tethered Jailbreak works with the help of a computer. You use a tool on the computer to Jailbreak an iPhone/iOS. After Jailbreaking, if your phone’s battery drops to zero, or you accidentally restart it, it will be unable to complete a boot cycle without the help of a computer.

To complete the boot cycle, you will connect the pwnd iPhone to the computer and run the Jailbreak tool all over again. Furthermore, you will have to enter the DFU mode too.

This can be time-consuming and troublesome as well. Especially, someone who’s very new to Jailbreak is not going to quite adjust to it. Also, this is not the kind of Jailbreak you would want on your daily driver. Yes, you can avoid restarting the device, but there’s no way you can avoid a dying battery until and unless you have the charger or power bank all the time.

redsn0w, a tool that jailbroke A4-powered devices back in the day, is a great example of Tethered Jailbreak. This tool was available for both the Windows and macOS.

semi-tethered Jailbreak

Unlike the Tethered Jailbreak, the Semi-tethered Jailbreak will allow a pwnd iPhone to complete a boot cycle. However, the Jailbreak Extensions will fail to work after the phone reboots. To make the Jailbreak functional again, you will connect it to the computer using a data cable, and run the Jailbreak tool again. This will also require booting into the DFU mode.

The semi-tethered jailbreak is not a troublemaker as big as the tethered jailbreak because, here, your iPhone will continue to work as a normal device after rebooting. In the tethered jailbreak, you cannot even complete a boot cycle without re-jailbreaking the iPhone.

The most recent example of semi-tethered jailbreak is the Checkra1n tool which is based on axi0m’s checkm8 exploit. It drops the payload before the iPhone boots up which makes this compatible with all versions of iOS running on A7 – A12 devices.

Final Words

Hopefully, you have a clear understanding of Untethered vs semi-untethered vs tethered vs semi-tethered jailbreaks. The untethered jailbreak is definitely the most wanted type of jailbreak, but it is a very hard nut to crack. If you have anything to add to this guide or any questions, use the comment section below. I will try my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

The following are the best Apps to Make Video Call Android to iPhone. Let’s Jump in.

Best Apps to Make Video Call Android to iPhone:

Viber:

The first app that will allow you to make a video call from Android to iPhone is Viber. Moreover, Viber is considered as a FaceTime alternative. It’s a free app and lets you make video calls for free.

The interface is simple, a layman can easily use Viber and make video & voice calls. Not only it provides VOIP & Video calls. It has tons of other features, you can chat with other users, send them stickers, emoticons and more.

Moreover, If you haven’t user Viber, you will be glad to know that. There are a number of Brands who have their public profiles on Viber. You can easily contact them and get quick assistance. In their latest update, they added a new feature that allows you to send short 30-second videos.

WhatsApp vs Viber: Choose the best

I have used Viber and the only downside I noticed is, Viber is bloated with a lot of applications and features so it looks cluttered and makes it complicated for the user.

Google Duo:

For years there was no one to compete FaceTime but then Google released Google Duo. A perfect app for Android & iOS users to make video calls. But there is no group video call option. As the name says all, at a time only two people call video chat. However, Google Duo has a few exciting features. The one I & most of the Google Duo users like is the Knock Knock feature. When someone is calling, use the Knock Knock feature, you will a video preview and that way you will know who is calling you.

I use Google Duo and it works pretty fast, no connectivity issue. Even in bad internet reception Google Duo works pretty well. The interface is user-friendly and you will get End-to-end encryption.

If you want to know about the downsides of Duo. Well, there are few such as no Group Vidoe call, No emoticons or GIFs and along with that, you cannot share files.

WhatsApp:

WhatsApp is the best choice when it comes to Make a Video call from Android to iPhone. This app doesn’t need any introduction, every smartphone users use WhatsApp on a daily basis.

You can make Vidoe calls, Voice Call, Send Voice Message, Chat with your friends and families. Moreover, you can share documents, files, photos, videos, and you can share your live location.

WhatsApp is the smoothest communication application available for platforms like Android and iOS. But there is a downside to it while using the video call feature of WhatsApp you can only a total of 4 participants.

Skype:

Skype is a very good alternative to WhatsApp, as it has some additional features like voice calls and video calls. Skype can be used to communicate with friends and family across the borders or within.

It can also be used for business purposes, for example, to conduct meeting with the client through video call or making a conference call. It also supports chat conversations with amazing emoticons.

This is only Vidoe calling app which has no downside. It has everything one can ask for. Skype will make things easy when you are trying to make a video call from Android to iPhone.

Download Skype Android | iOS

Facebook Messenger:

Facebook Messenger allows you to make video calls between Android & iOS devices. Since Facebook has the biggest user database of all time. It’s not possible that whom you are calling won’t have Messenger.

The UI of Facebook Messenger is neat and clean. But if you think it’s easy to use, I beg to differ, it’s not. There are tons of options and sometimes it looks messy to me. However, the good news is, you can all up to 50 participants at a time.

Other than that, you can share files, photos, documents, locations, and more. Moreover, there a number of live filters that you can use during the Video call.

When it comes to the downside, there is only one. The UI and trust me, Facebook need to work on that.

Download Facebook Messenger Android | iOS

Zoom:

Zoom is specifically designed for the business community. You can add up to 500 participants in a single call. Not only that, but you can also add up to 1000 participants which can only view.

So if you run a business and want to get connected with all of your employees at once Zoom is the app you go for. Since not all of your employees are iPhone users or Android.

So it would be the best you use Zoom and make a video call from Android to iPhone. The interface of Zoom is user-friendly. You are allowed to share documents, files, photos, videos and more.

The only downside I notice is, not all main features are for free. You have to pay up a little sum to avail all the features.

Download Zoom Android | iOS

Wire:

If you are among those who don’t want to share their personal data with any third-party video calling apps. Then you should use Wire and believe me they are good. Wire follows EU privacy laws. Also, it is free and you don’t even have to sign up to use Wire.

All you have to do is download the Wire app on your iPhone or Android. Start calling your friends and colleagues, share files, add up to 10 people at a time.

Wire is the best free and most secure video calling app for Android & iOS. Like Skype, Wire has no downside or cons.

Download Wire Android | iOS

Signal:

The signal is the same as Wire and it is available for both Android and iOS devices. When it comes to security and piracy Signal held his name. It provides end-to-end encryption for users.

You can share files and make free video calls from iPhone to Android. Signal has one additional feature that Wire doesn’t seem to have. You can send a self-destructing message to any user on your Signal contact list. After a specific time, you have set, the message will be auto-deleted.

Signal works in the same way WhatsApp does. It uses your phone number to activate your account and then use your contact list to connect with others.

I am using Signal for very long and still, I haven’t found any downside to it. Use the link below to download Signal on your Android & iOS devices.

10 Ways to Fix App Store Not Downloading Apps Issue

If you are an iOS user then you are well aware of the fact that you can only download apps on iPhone & iPad using App Store. There is no third-party source that allows you to directly download apps on iOS devices. Since the App Store is the only option so what to do when the App Store stop working, responding, etc. In this guide, I will tell how to Fix App Store Not Downloading Apps.

The biggest difference between iOS & Android devices is freedom. Android users can easily sideload apps and they can also use third-party sources to download apps. But iOS users are stuck with the App Store. However, they can use other sources but for that, they have to Jailbreak their device first.

This year we have seen a number of Jailbreak Tools but none of them provide an untethered jailbreak. That’s why I will not suggest any of you, to Jailbreak your device. It is better to stick with the App Store.

Now let’s begin and Fix App Store Not Downloading Apps. I have found a number of Workarounds to help you.

Fix App Store Not Downloading Apps Issue:

Heed the instructions below and you will be able to fix App Store no downloading apps issue. Make sure after trying a method you should try downloading an app. If one didn’t work for you then proceed to the next one.

Total Time: 10 minutes

Update OS

This is the first and foremost workaround you should try if one of your stock apps is not working. Head over to the Settings -> General -> Software Update.
If a new update is available, Tap on Download & Install.

Hard Reboot

When it comes to Android there a number of methods that can be used to hard reset or reboot a device. But when it comes to the iPhone & iPad, there is only one.
Press & release the Volume Up button -> Press & release the Volume down Button -> At the end press & hold the Volume Down and Power Button. Until you see the Slide to Turn off slider on the screen.

Wait for a few hours

If the App Store is not downloading apps. Close the App Store and wait for a few hours and then restart your device. After that, open the App Store and try downloading an app.

Pause, Restart

This trick still works most of the time. Start downloading an app and when the downloading is started. Pause it and then wait for a few seconds. Start the downloading again, this works.

Clear App Store Cache

I am sure not all of you know, you can also clear App Store cache. Not like you do on Android devices but this trick will help you clear App Store Cache.
Open the App Store, at the bottom you will see 5 buttons. Tap 10 times on one of them. By tapping a button 10 times will clear the cache of the Apps store.

Check Network Settings

It’s also a basic workaround that you should always try. Make sure you are connected to an active WiFi connection. Moreover, turn off WiFi and connect your device to mobile data.
After that try downloading an app. If still there is no success for you. Connect to another WiFi connection. Make sure all the connections are enabled.
If you are using a proxy or a VPN, disconnect it and then try downloading an app.

Date & Time Settings

I have faced this problem a number of times. My date & time settings were messed up and because of that, I was unable to download any app from the App Store.

Head over to the Settings -> General -> Date & Time. Set your date & time according to your geo-location.

Free Space

After trying all the workarounds given above, you still are facing the App Store Not Downloading Apps issue. I think you should check the available space on your device.
Sometimes we forget to check how much storage space is left on our iPhone or iPad. That may be the reason you are unable to download apps from the App store.
Head over to the Settings > General > About > iPhone Storage > Check your Storage. If you don’t have enough storage to download an app or game. You need to free up space.

Sign out and Back In

This trick does work, all you have to do head over to Settings -> Tap on Apple ID, iCloud Settings. Scroll down and at the bottom of the page, you will see ” Sign out”. Tap on it and Enter your Apple ID password to proceed.

Reset Options

If everything else fails, you need to factory reset your Apple device. Head over to the Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.

That will be all. This is how you can Fix App Store Not Downloading Apps Issue on iPhone & iPad.

How to enable Virtualization Technology (VT) for BlueStacks

In this guide, we will take a look at the method to enable Virtualization Technology (VT) for BlueStacks on Windows. The method will explain how to enable VT for BlueStacks on Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

Intel Virtualization Technology, formerly known as Vanderpool, is a feature that enables a CPU to act as several independent computers. The same technology by ADM is known as AMD-V. The purpose of VT and AMD-V is exactly the same. Virtualization Technology is basically used for running several operating systems on a computer at the same time. You must have heard of virtualization software like VMWare. Such software triggers virtualization in a computer to run another OS without any hiccups. Virtualization Technology is useful for running Android Emulators on a computer as well. If you have ever wanted to run Android OS on your computer and you came across BlueStacks, you will definitely need VT enabled on the computer.

The latest version of BlueStacks, the BlueStacks 4.1 runs well on the Windows-powered computers. However, the emulator gets stuck at times and sometimes it just becomes too much slow. You can boost up the performance of BlueStacks 4.1 on your computer simply by enabling the virtualization technology. BlueStacks 4.1 is a huge software and it can potentially slow down the performance of your computer as well. You need a powerful computer in order to run software like BlueStacks 4.1. It’s very important to have VT enabled if you want to put the least amount of load on your CPU. Having VT enabled will make your CPU believe that there is another operating system that needs another computer to run. If you run BlueStacks 4.1 without VT, it will put all the load on the part of the CPU which is already handling your current operating system.

Let’s proceed with the guide to enable Virtualization Technology (VT) for BlueStacks 4.1 now.

How to check if your computer supports Virtualization Technology or not?

Intel Users

First of all, you need to check whether your computer supports VT or not. Here’s how you can do so.
Intel users can download the Intel Processor Identification Utility tool.
Install and launch your installed tool now.
If you have installed the Intel tool, open it and click on “CPU Technologies”.
Under the CPU Technologies page, you will find the Intel Virtualization Technology with Yes written next to it.
If it’s exactly the same as shown below, it means you can enable VT on your computer.

AMD Users

AMD users can download the AMD-V Detection Utility tool.
Launch the newly installed tool on your computer.
The AMD tool will show you the message “This system is compatible with Hyper-V”. If it shows you this message, it means you can enable VT on your computer.

How to enable Virtualization Technology (VT) for BlueStacks

Now that you know your computer supports VT, it’s time to enable it.

Windows 10 Users:

1. On your computer, click on the search button appearing the taskbar and type “Advanced startup”.
2. As soon as “Change advanced startup options” appears, click on it.
3. Now click on Restart now.
4. Click on Troubleshoot > Advanced options.
5. Now under Advanced options > UEFI firmware settings > Restart to enter BIOS.
6. Your computer will reboot and enter the BIOS now.
7. In BIOS, use the arrow key to move to Configuration or System Configuration.
8. Now use the arrow down key to select “Intel Virtualization Technology”.
9. Press Enter and then use the arrow down key to select “Enabled”.
10. Save the settings and restart your computer now.
