vBoxWrap2.exe high CPU usage

Post by ravindra_se »

Hello Everybody. I am running a Win10 Guest OS on a Win7 host machine using VMWare Workstation 12. Inside the VM I am using an application which runs a Win7 32-bit VM using Oracle VirtualBox v4.3.12.
I have noticed that when the VirtualBox VM is running, a process vBoxWrap2.exe has consistently high CPU usage in the Win10 OS, around 35%.
Can anyone tell me what is this executable does and whether there are any issue in the VM I need to tackle to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

  1. Nested virtualization is not supported.
  2. vBoxWrap2.exe is *not* a VirtualBox process.
