Windows 10 guest VM keeps crashing and rebooting after a few mins

Post by gotenks »

I too had random Win10 guest crashes in both 6.1.32 and 6.1.34 versions of VB. The only option to me, was to downgrade to 6.1.30 (which was the first version working with Hyper-V enabled in Win10 host in my case).
Additionally, under VB 6.1.34, my Win7 guests are unusable at all, due to their slowness, while they are working flawlessy under 6.1.30 now, without any change to their settings.

Some efforts to support the new Windows 11 have up-ended some earlier working code. The devs are working on it.
Meanwhile, staying on .30 is perfectly OK. I still have 6.0.14 on my production host.

Our forum guru 'fth0' has done some troubleshooting and pins down these possibilities to try (HCVI = Microsoft 'Memory Integrity'):
6.1.32 without Hyper-V
6.1.30 with Hyper-V but without HVCI
6.1.26 with Hyper-V and HVCI.

You can make that 6.1.34, BTW. VirtualBox 6.1.32 and 6.1.34 are no different regarding the Hyper-V regression.
