Answer 1

• Check your Windows 10 version: right click on start button, System. See version number in Windows specifications. Mine was 1709 while Windows Update was apparently "up to date".

• Windows Hypervisor Platform feature depends on Windows 10 version 1803 (aka "Redstone 4")

If like me, your Windows is not really up to date:

• In "Windows Update" / "Check for Updates", click on "Advanced options" to see if you are on the branch "Targeted". If not, you receive feature updates to Windows 10 very lately (adapted to big organizations). After the targeted channel branch selected, check for update. You should receive the new one(s).
