I started a Windows 11 VM. It worked OK for a few minutes. Then i clicked on my host browser and searched for some stuff i needed. When returning to the VM, i discovered that for some reason, it had frozen. This VM if fairly fresh, it just contains Win11, Total Commander and VS2022 Community Edition. No funny stuff like antiviruses etc (an least not any more than what's already built-in to Windows).
I have noticed this behavior at least 2 more times. The only additional thing i can mention is that it has a snapshot, placed just before installing VS2022.
Any ideas?
VBox 7.0.4 - Windows 11 VM freezes
Re: VBox 7.0.4 - Windows 11 VM freezes
Can confirm: Windows 11 22H2 guest freezes randomly, usually after a few minutes. The host is running Windows 10 21H1.
What worked for me: downgrading the VM Box Additions in the guest from version 7.04 back to 6.34, no more freezes after that.

Re: VBox 7.0.4 - Windows 11 VM freezes
I changed the Windows 10 VM settings on my Windows 11 hosted Virtualbox 7.0.4 r154605 (Qt5.15.2)
1. System->Acceleration->Paravirtualization Interface: from Default to KPM
2. System->Motherboard->TPM: from None to 2.0
on 2022-12-22 and haven't experienced a freeze problem since.
So far, so good...

Re: VBox 7.0.4 - Windows 11 VM freezes
The only change I made was to Settings->System->Motherboard->TPM from none->2.0 and it appears to be working fine now with 7.0.4 Guest Additions.
UPDATE:
It started happening again. Fiddle-sticks.

Well, admittedly, it lasted longer with KVM (more than an hour) but it still froze.rplummer wrote:I changed the Windows 10 VM settings on my Windows 11 hosted Virtualbox 7.0.4 r154605 (Qt5.15.2)

Win11 are unusable...

Re: VBox 7.0.4 - Windows 11 VM freezes
Please upgrade to 7.0.6 Virtualbox, Extension Pack if used, and Guest Additions.
If this does not get a stable VM, and you have 3D acceleration turned on, try running the VM with 3D acceleration turned off. If that stabilizes the VM, Please create a ticket in the Bugtracker with the problem description, the manufacturer and model of the host PC's graphics card, the graphics driver version (on the host OS), and a (zipped) VBox.log file.
If your host OS is Linux, please provide a zip file with the output of the 'vulkaninfo' command (on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint hosts, you may have to install the vulkan-tools package).
