+## <a name="configWindowsHyperV" />HyperV
+
+`hyperv` is an OPTIONAL field of the Windows configuration. If present, the container will be run with Hyper-V isolation. If omitted, the container will be run as a Windows Server container.
+
+The following parameters can be specified:
+
+* **`utilityvmpath`** *(string, OPTIONAL)* - specifies the path to the image used for the utility VM. If not supplied, the runtime will search the container filesystem layers from the bottom-most layer upwards, until it locates "UtilityVM", and default to that path.
+
+* **`sandboxpath`** *(string)* - specifies the root of the path to the sandbox to be used for the container.
+
+### Example
+
+```json
+    "windows": {
+        "hyperv": {
+            "sandboxpath": "C:\\\\programdata\\\\docker\\\\windowsfilter"
+        }
+    }
