Hello,
I have a problem my virtual machine (Linux Mint) worked good. But yesterday I turned off Pc and when I turned it on again, virtual machine stuck at booting on left up corner there is blinking underscore. I found a lot of solution (turning of Hyper-V, Nvidia drivers, lot of virtual machine settings) but nothing helped me. In log file I found this error: ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_VM_ERROR (0x80bb0003) aIID={4680b2de-8690-11e9-b83d-5719e53cf1de} aComponent={DisplayWrap} aText={Could not take a screenshot (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED)}, preserve=false aResultDetail=-37
I am sending full log file as attachment. I also tried other distros of linux but same problem.
Thanks for any help.

This from the log:
You need to disable Hyper-V and see if that solves the problem with your VMs. See: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=99390

Thank you many times it works again. And last question. Do you think that it was caused by some windows update?

I think it depends what the 'update' was. If it was a 'feature update' (or an Insider Build), which effectively 're-installs' the entire Windows 10 OS and takes that opportunity to 'repair broken Windows features ' then, in my experience, Hyper-V will be automatically re-activated, but so will using any other feature which makes use of the Hyper-V "engine' (also available in Windows 10 Home), such as WSL2, or possibly some security/anti-virus products which are set up to make use of hardware acceleration.

Hyper-V is also enabled if you have Sandboxing enabled in Windows 10. Just disable it and restart.
Press Windows key + X -> Click Programs and Features -> Click Turn Windows features on or off -> Uncheck Windows Sandbox -> Click OK, restart if prompted.

Thanks, Alekxv, for the input! FWIW, the "Windows Features" checkboxes don't always turn off all services that enable Hyper-V. The commands in the link posted by MultiOS above are the for-sure Hyper-V killers.
