Smart Tool 'Repair Environment' dialog keeps reappearing — fix that breaks the loop
When opening the COD Mobile Smart Tool, a modal dialog appears titled "Repair Environment" with the message:
"You have enabled virtualization technology (Hyper-V). You need to repair the related environment before using it normally. Do you want to repair it?"
Clicking Repair runs a brief animation, but on the next Smart Tool launch the same dialog reappears. Clicking Cancel just closes the dialog without doing anything. The user is stuck in a loop where Repair claims to succeed but the underlying environment mismatch isn't actually resolved.

Root cause: the Smart Tool's "Repair Environment" path patches a registry key indicating Hyper-V mode, but if Memory Integrity / VBS is also enabled, the underlying hypervisor lock prevents TAC from actually using Hyper-V — and the next environment check detects the mismatch again.
Solutions
solution #601
Disable Memory Integrity FIRST, then click Repair. The fix sequence that actually breaks the loop:
- Settings → Privacy & Security → Windows Security → Device Security → Core Isolation.
- Toggle Memory Integrity OFF.
- Reboot Windows (mandatory — VBS state only updates after reboot).
- After reboot, open Smart Tool — the "Repair Environment" dialog should appear once more.
- Click Repair.
- Smart Tool should now exit Repair mode and let you Apply FPS / Apply Keymap / Launch CODM normally.
- The dialog will not return on subsequent launches.
solution #602
Toggle Hyper-V off, reboot, toggle back on, reboot. If Memory Integrity was already off and the loop persists, your Hyper-V state itself may be corrupted:
- Win+R →
optionalfeatures - UNCHECK Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, Windows Hypervisor Platform.
- Apply, reboot.
- Open optionalfeatures again, RECHECK all three.
- Apply, reboot.
- Open Smart Tool, click Repair.
solution #603
If both above fail, force hypervisor launch via bcdedit. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
Reboot. The bcdedit flag forces Windows to actually start the hypervisor at boot, regardless of Hyper-V Windows-feature state. Useful when Memory Integrity has corrupted the bcd hypervisorlaunchtype to "off" without flipping the UI back.
