[Solved] VMs crash during startup

Post by mmmdonuts000 »

Greetings! I've been using VBox for a while and haven't had any problems until now. I installed VBox 6.1.22 on an older laptop but all VMs are crashing at the moment they try to load Windows. I don't know what to look for in the log file. Please help! Included is the vbox.log file.

Use the Windows 2016 template, not the Win2019 template, as the latter fails to enable an important feature.

p.s. I'm pretty sure that modern server editions of Windows would probably enjoy having more than one core if you want any kind of useful performance. I suggest 2 cores, no more or less.

Switching to the win2016 template worked! Thanks very much.

I use the Win2019 template on my newer laptop without issues so I didn't thought of trying that. Must be something the older laptop requires.
