Removing Hyper-V role from Windows Server 2012 R2

hyper-vwindows-server-2012windows-server-2012-r2

I am attempting to remove they Hyper-V role from a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. When attempting to do so via the "Add Roles and Features Wizard", the check box is grayed out and it will not allow me to uncheck it and therefore will not allow me to uninstall this role.

This was a simple process in 2008 and 2008 R2. Not sure what has changed.

Windows Server 2012 R2 is all about PowerShell and frankly with the redesign of Server Manager I'm quite glad.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Remove-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V
