VB 6.1.32 slow to start LM guest. VB 6.1.30 okay

Post by RobertoT »

for me is worst....

I can use only VB 6.1.28

for both 6.1.30 and 6.1.32.... my Windows10 VB does not start.... it freeze.

Now my host is Windows 11.... but also when it was Windows 10 the problem was the same.

My solution is uninstall virtualBox and reinstalll VB 6.1.28

If you would like to help out or get the newer versions fixed, please go back to 6.1.32 and try the VM again.

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Also, report the exact error messages you receive.

I'd say that VirtualBox is slow because you have Hyper-v running on the host, not because you are running 6.1.32.

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

Ok thanks now 6.1.32 works and I haven't the Green Turtle icon.

But without Hyper-V activated to my windows host, what could happen? I hope nothing :D

This will prevent Windows services that require Hyper-V from running. I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests post 3 has a mostly complete list. Windows will still run without these services, and keeping the host free of malware will help your PC to not need the services.
