VirtualBox crashes/closes down immediately on starting

Post by shares »

It has been doing this for a while now, and I need to start it again, after it closes down. Today it has decided it will NOT stay open no matter what. Doing a google search brings up the same problem mentioned dozen of times going back many years. I am Windows 10 pro, VB version 6.1.18.142142

Google for anything and all your hits are from people having problems. People with no problems have no need to post so it means nothing much.

That said, "VirtualBox not opening" is not a problem I'm familiar with, unless it's the usual clash with Hyper-v or no VT-x/AMD-v at all. It would help if you quoted an error message or gave us a screen shot and a VM log file.

See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)
