First creation of virtual host ran win11 iso and crashed- found info to correct issue with tpm,( this is new system cpu supports tpm).
Subsequent creations of virtual box will start but not going past items shown in the attached picture. As I am not familiar with Vb language, don't understand what is missing.

Help please.

Virtual host is not a term we use - in fact it is misleading.

The physical PC is the host, because it hosts the vms. The virtual machines running on that host are its guests, so we refer to them as a guests, or simply virtual machines or vms.

Similarly we refer to the OS in the host machine as the host OS and in the one in the vm as the guest OS. Using these terms makes a post easier to follow. Remember that you are very familiar with your PC and how it is set up, but we have no idea what it is like - we only know what you tell us.

The two messages at the top appear when you first install a vm. Once you have read them you can close them or set them to not show again.

The other messages come from the guest machine, not from VirtualBox. They tell you that the OS has booted into the EFI shell, not into the OS.

At that shell command prompt, type Exit. That will put up a gray BIOS-like menu where you can pick the ISO to boot the VM back into the ISO's installer

Stumbled into getting the boot started.
Following the oracle article on how to bypass TPM issue, I modified the Win10 registry during the ISO install as indicated, however the TPM error still occurs.

Puzzling is my registry changes installed beneath the
"LabConfig" key. Expanded the key shows only BypassTpm as sub to that instance. The other two keys when created show sub to Labconfig but don't directly show in the expanded Labconfig detail.

Also - is the registry that I'm changing separate to the host registry? I looked in the win10 registry but don't find the added Labconfig keys listed.

Thank you.

Moving to Windows Guests. Please look through that subforum for the Windows 11 topics. This has probably come up before.

Also changing topic title, as this is about 11 not 10

Recreated the VM and was able to install Win11 Vm.
