Yes - please open an issue. I tried the same thing on Golden Gate with VB 7.2.14 and the reload aborted with virtio-scsi errors. Looks like any easy one for the developers to reproduce.

Maybe if you post a log (zipped) showing the machine starting, a failed ping to 8.8.8.8 and then a clean shutdown of the VM someone may be able to help.

Are you doing NAT over the same type of interface (WiFi, ethernet) on both machines? It's hard to know what is going on from your description.

By "extensions" I presume you really mean "Guest Additions" - i.e the VirtualBox component that is installed in the VM and not on the host.

With your VM in the foreground (not the VirtualBox Manager) open the Devices menu. You will see an item that inserts the virtual disk into your VM. You can ...

From your VBox.log

If you are on a debian host, why not add the VirtualBox repository to your apt configuration. This is documented at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Whenever you do host software updates (which I hope you do to keep abreast of security fixes) the VirtualBox repository will also be ...

A couple of things from your log file.

1. VirtualBox VM 7.0.26 - that's getting old. Current release is 7.2.8
2. You don't have enough RAM for the VM as configured. You cannot oversubscribe memory. I'm not sure that Win 11 would run very well (if at all) in 2 GB so you should probably look at ...

apt purge removes the software but does not touch the user owned files.

There are 2 directories of user files:
1 - $HOME/VirtualBox VMs/ which contains your VM configurations. Thats the default, you may be using a different name.
2 - $HOME/.config/VirtualBox which holds your configuration files for ...

A couple of things you could try.

1. All your physical cores are assigned to the VM. Hyperthreaded CPUs don't count. Try reducing CPU count of the VM to 3.
2. Try reducing the RAM allocation in the VM. You are very close to the available RAM so try using 8GB which should give you a headroom of ...

You can't really count on the VirtualBox Developers to be monitoring these forums, which are largely end user supported.. I know some of the developers do participate from time to time, but there are no guarantees.

You would be better off reporting this problem through the issues tracker on github ...

What AdapterType have you selected in the VirtualBox Network settings?
I am currently running a Windows 11 VM using WiFi bridging with an Ethernet over USB (usbnet) adapter. The host does have an ethernet adapter but the cable is physically removed.

It would help if you were to post a zipped copy of the VBox.log file for your VM. Run your VM until you see the problem. Close it down gracefully if possible, then compress the log and attach to a post here.

Given the age of your machine, unless you are using OCLP, I would think you have a fairly ...

I notice you are running VirtualBox 7.2.4
It's a good idea to update to the current VirtualBox 7.2.8
Don't forget to update the VirtualBox Extension Pack, which MUST also be version 7.2.8
It's also a good idea (although not essential) to update Guest Additions in your VM

I just checked my Windows ...

Press the 'Expert' tab at the top of the Display Settings window.
Choose VBoxSVGA from the Graphics Controller menu. Disable 3D acceleration
Start your VM and then update/install the VirtualBox Guest Additions.

After a reboot you should be able to resize the VM to something better than 1024x768

I'm not sure that it is possible to install macOS Ventura or later into a VirtualBox VM. I have tried many times and never been successful. Monterey and earlier work find. That said, you could attach a zipped VBox.log to a post for someone here to look at. Maybe there is now some solution.

You are running VirtualBox 7.1.6 r167084
