Usually my Windows 10 Pro guest VMs using the VirtualBox hypervisor run very well on my MacOS hosts. Note: Windows 10 Pro guests VMs run much better on KVM based Linux hosts, but that's a different topic. But for education/comparison purposes seeing the performance of Windows 10 Pro guests on both h...

It's often said the process is more important than the results (on many complex systems real world systems, when people are involved, there's an element of randomness). Getting the process mostly right, requires significant study and understanding. My first inclination in the process to figure out w...

I've designed/built workstations/servers as Linux and Windows host systems from used server hardware for a very long time. As long as the core specs (CPU, etc) meet the needs of the QEMU/KVM or Hyper-V (granted I try to avoid Microsoft at all costs, but Windows is needed for specific programs) virtu...

Thanks for the replies, I've done some more of my own experiments. Designing , building and running $B global systems is what I do. I go be the scientific method combined with my own years of dealing with vendors and complex systems and people. I've learned to go by what I myself see using a top-dow...

Thanks for the help. Appreciated. I followed you suggestions (I'd tried 2D acceleration previously and to me that seemed to make the performance worse). I enabled both the 2D and 3D acceleration and also enabled PAE/NX. Reinstalled Guest Essentials. Even with these config changes, I don't see any im...

Some additional info. It may or may not be relevant, but I thought I should point it out. I notice on all the Linux guests running on this MacOS host using VirtualBox, that the status on the "nested paging" shows "active". The Linux VMs run great on this VirtualBox setup on the M...

Thanks for offering to help. Appreciated. Here's the request log file. I've gone over everything multiple times now and can't see anything in terms of the standard settings that is off. Let me know if anyone needs me to do anything to help fix this Windows Server 2016 guest VM on VirtualBox. It shou...

I thought putting a Windows Server 2016 guest on virtualbox (MacOS 10.11.6, El Capitan would be very straight forward. (I've got Windows Server 2016 working perfectly on a different Linux Host using KVM, so I know Windows Server 2016 in a virtual environment works well). But for some reason, Windows...
