Build 14393.5 is supposed to be the RTM build for Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, so I figured I would post my journey arriving at a working VB install.
.
The big roadblock was that I had Hyper-V installed and it was interfering with VB. The first symptom was that only 32-bit versions of any Guest OS would show up in the dropdown box of VB Manager. The next symptom was that the machine would immediately BSOD when starting the VM with a 64-bit install disk. Once I went into Windows Components and removed Hyper-V from my system it all seems to work well with both Ubuntu and Debian 64-bit guest OS's.
.
I now know that Hyper-V is listed as an incompatible "3rd Party" system here in the forums. However, since it is part of Windows, I didn't expect it to be listed as such and didn't open that sticky until after I got a working installation.
.
Perhaps it would be possible for the developers of VB to check or the presence of Hyper-V and other non-compatible software packages during the installation process. It would save newcomers a lot of searching and frustration.
