Hyper-V Virtual Machines Fail to Start and Initialize after Windows 10 Upgrade from Windows 8.1

My Windows 8.1 Hyper-V virtual machines worked fine. I just upgraded to Windows 10 (with the CPU hypervisor turned off) and when I attempt to start the machines (after enabling the hypervisor) I get the errors: "'(machine name)' failed to start." and "'(machine name)' could not initialize." The same thing happens when I attempt to create a new virtual machine and then start it. Any thoughts on this would be very appreciated.

UPDATE:  SEE MY UPDATE BELOW FOR MORE SOLUTION INFORMATION.

    yeah those and the ones in the link

    still getting the could not start and failed to initialize errors.

    I did happen to check the system requirements listed by M$ for hyper-v on windows 10 and it does not list any video requirements or say anything about remoteFX, which makes the error I am seeing confusing.

    I also ran the systeminfo command while hyper-v was uninstalled, and the lines that needed to be true in order for hyper-v to work were all yes. my next step I suppose, is to go over to my mom's system and see if it will run hyper-v

    What are the specific event ID numbers for the errors in the event log that occur when you try to start a VM?

    mainly I am seeing error code 15130 in the event viewer

    the other error I am seeing related to remotefx is errorcode 32607. it's not as frequent, but appears at least once a windows session

    i am assuming this thread is yours?
