For windows users: Disable Hyper-V and its tools

If you are a windows user, the problem might simply be because of having multiple virtualization technologies in your system.

You might be having Hyper-V and its related features enabled. Just simply turning them off and rebooting your system can do you help sometimes.

Here is how you do it:

1. Fire up Run (Ctrl+R)
2. Type appwiz.cpl and press enter
3. Head over to Turn Windows features on or off
4. Find Hyper-V and deselect everything under it.
5. Press Ok and give your system a restart.

Fireup your genymotion and check to see if it works again. If there is an error prompt saying something like DHCP cant assign IP... just try restarting your genymotion application.
