I am a first time user. I am running Windows 10 and trying to install Unbuntu 18.04 in virtual box and getting the pictured error. I can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas?

  1. Search for "VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED", there is a ton of threads dealing with it. Hint: you need to disable Hyper-V related processes, see the list in the thread I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests.
  2. Just to be sure, we need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:
    • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
    • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
    • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
