[SOLVED] Problems with Win10 Guest: Search Window Stuck

Post by boxino »

When I try to open settings or other windows from the command bar the system is like crashing. The search window remains all black. I don't want to connect the car in question to the internet.
Are there any solutions to the problem :?:
Thank you.

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Now it has started to work again but the opening of the windows remains very slow. I attach the log.

I don't see anything in the log indicating slowness in the VM hardware. Since you have 3D enabled, try disabling Settings > Personalization > Colors > Transparency Effects in your Windows 10 VM.

Unfortunately Win10 is not activated and I cannot change the setting. Is there an alternative method or other suggestions?

If Windows is not activated (yet), the setting under Ease of Access > Display > Simplify and personalize Windows > Show transparency in Windows is accessible, whereas the setting under Personalize > Colors > Transparency effects is not. ;)
