#### 🛑 Most Common Causes:

1. **Hyper-V or Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) is still enabled**\
   → Make sure you've followed the steps in the **Hyper-V & VBS** section of this GitBook to fully disable them.
2. **Windows Defender or third-party antivirus is removing the file**\
   → This includes real-time protection, cloud protection, or any other active scanning features.
3. **Still happening?**
