Machine: Issue while creating docker machine getting "this computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-V embarked,enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory"

Created on 27 Dec 2018 · 4Comments · Source: docker/machine

As suggested, Virtualization is already enabled in the BIOS setup and also for VM setting but still facing same issue

Commands: docker-machine create --driver virtualbox manager

Docker Version: 18.09.0
Docker Machine Version: 0.16.0
Ubuntu Version: 16.04

I solved it like this
docker-machine.exe -D create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 2048 --virtualbox-no-vtx-check default

Also seeing this on Ubuntu 18.04.1:

$ docker-machine create default
Running pre-create checks...
Error with pre-create check: "This computer doesn't have VT-X/AMD-v enabled. Enabling it in the BIOS is mandatory"
$ lsb_release -d

Skipping the check works:
