Win XP VM Crashes lately, Win 10 Host

[Seargaca]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, and I need your help.

I've been unable to run the XP VM for two days, the same VM that was working fine for more than three years. It just crash on startup.

Nothing has changed but some Win 10 Automatic Updates.

The first symptom was that the VM Administrator stopped tu run at all, so I installed the latest version to date (Aug 1, 2017).

The last activity performed while working fine was deleting some user files to free up some HD space in the virtual disk, to achieve 1.5 GB of free space.

Thanks in advance.

From the log:

Code: Select all

00:00:02.648808 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes

Virtualbox has been taking to need VT-x even on guests that didn't need it before. See I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests for fixes, even if your guest is 32-bit.

That's a big update, not a minor one. It's similar to reinstalling your OS. You'll have to reinstall VirtualBox after such a Win10 update (you know who to blame, right?). And to add to the comment by 'scottgus1', check and make sure that Hyper-V is not enabled, it has a tendency to do it without asking.

Thanks a lot, Scottgus1 and Socratis.
Solved after enable virtualization settings in BIOS.
Thanks again.
