Black screen with prompt in VM
Posted: 14. May 2021, 22:53
Hi ,
I have created a new VM using VirtualBox on my laptop with Windows 10.
I have installed Windows 2016 on the VM. My laptop is fairly good spec 16GB RAM, decent graphics etc. I also have Hyper V virtualisation enabled.
When I start my VM, it boots up but Windows does not load correctly. Instead I get a black screen with a windows prompt to enter admin password, which I did, then
it stays with black screen and a command window.
I have tried disable 3D Acceleration, also tried in Safe mode . I have also tried using Hyper V also. I get similar issue there. I have tried removing Hyper V in Windows features. This made no difference.
Any suggestions what am I missing to get Windows 2016 load up properly on my VM.
