PowerShell module isn't set up, even when Hyper-V has been installed. This is what I did to enable it:

From PowerShell as administrator:
Article at Altaro VM Backup -

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName *hyper-v* | select DisplayName, FeatureName

You have three options if you want to install the PowerShell Module on Windows 10. The simplest is to install only the module by using its feature name. Installing either of the two options above it (Hyper-V Management Tools or the entire Hyper-V section) will include the module. I trimmed off the feature name in the images above, so all three possibilities are shown below:

# Install only the PowerShell module

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Management-PowerShell

# Install the Hyper-V management tool pack (Hyper-V Manager and the Hyper-V PowerShell module)

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-Tools-All

# Install the entire Hyper-V stack (hypervisor, services, and tools)

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All

Just follow the above link, I don't want to deal with this right now. Thanks, Rosie

Remove HyperV snapshots:
