Windows vm black screen

Post by ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ »

Greetings,

I'm attempting to run a Windows vm on a Windows host but when I start the vm I am getting a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left. I've tried the usual troubleshooting steps: disable Hyper-V, enable virtualization in BIOS, enable VT-x, enable/disable 3D & 2D and I've attached the latest logs. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

00:00:02.900694 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available
00:00:02.935612 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...
Looks like Hyper-V isn't fuly disabled yet. See I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests Carefully go through each command in the 2nd & 3rd posts. Based on my perusal of successful fixes for this problem, the silver bullet appears to be the "bcdedit" command & complete power-down in post 2 point 1.
