Win7 doesn´t start

Post by virtualhero »

Hello,

i ´ve upgrade virtualbox from 5 to 6.1.18 and new extension pack - but mei Win 7 machines don´t start anymore. Hanging on windows sign, tried different solutions from this forum, not applicable. :(

virtualbox running on Windows 10, intel

attached log - after hours it shows me the login screen, but too slow for enering sting.

Even i was uninstall/installing virtualbox.

Have no idea why it´s not working anymore.

kr,

Gerald

Disable Hyper-v. See the third post in FAQ: I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.

Thanks, this cmd eventually did it.

If you want to be absolutely sure that Hyper-v is gone then open an administrator command console and type "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off".

... then reboot the host from a full power down.

Apologies, intending to quote your post I accidentally edited it instead. But I'm pretty sure I restored the gist of what you said.
