Hello,
I've tried the installation of Windows 10 in VM several times. It always ends up to be very buggy. While the VM works very smoothly and incredibly fast at first, opening a web browser quickly scratches and the app automatically closes (both for Edge and Chrome). Sometimes, the VM automatically reboots too. I don't get this problem when I install it in Gnome Boxes (but I'd like to use VirtualBox for multiple reasons).
I gave the VM 8/32 GB of RAM, 4/16 CPUs, 128M MB of video memory and did not enable 3D Acceleration. I created a 100 GB VDI storage disk dynamically allocated. The installation file I'm using for Windows 10 is "Win10_21H2_English_x64.iso". The host is Ubuntu 22.04. VirtualBox version is 6.1.34. The computer is a Lenovo ThinkPad T14.
Many thanks for your help !

Re: Web browser closes automatically. VM shutdown automatically.
Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Re: Web browser closes automatically. VM shutdown automatically.
Linux kernels 5.19, 5.18, 5.17.12+ (e.g. Fedora 35 + 36), 5.15.44+ (e.g. Arch Linux 5.15.45-1-lts, Ubuntu 5.15.0-47.51) and 5.10.119+ (e.g. Debian Bullseye 5.10.0-15) and 5.4.200+ (e.g. Ubuntu 5.4.0-126.142) are only supported by VirtualBox 6.1.36 and newer.
If you're using the Oracle-provided VirtualBox version, update to VirtualBox 6.1.38. If you're using the Ubuntu-provided VirtualBox version, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1988473.

Re: Web browser closes automatically. VM shutdown automatically.
Thank you very much for the link! VirtualBox 6.1.38 has been made available as a pre-released update in the official Ubuntu repositories. Then, I've updated virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms, and virtualbox-qt packages from 6.1.34 to 6.1.38. So far, it seems that it has solved the issues. Many thanks!
