virtualbox log in screen freezes when mouse hovers on

Post by nicobarberis »

So since two/three months, sometimes when i open virtualbox the screen freeze (i assume) when i'm hover it with mouse. Today i can't do anything.
When you are on the log in screen buttons change colors when hover by mouse, but in my case they don't do anything, i tried to click thousands times but nothing happend. todaty i noticed that when i move the mouse on to a button, button change state and freeze all the screen. sorry for the english i'm very upset i have an exam soon and i don't know what to do. i'll try to show you the log but i don't know if is the right one

Over allocation of cores (reduce to 2), and under allocation of graphics RAM (increase to 128MB).

Then let's see how we get on.

I'm afraid the latest log is rather useless - it cuts off just as things get interesting (i.e. shortly after boot begins). You need to make sure that the VM is completely closed down before grabbing any of the logs. Then you need to zip the complete log so that the zip file will be below the forum attachment size limits.

p.s. The same was true of the previous log, but at least that one showed things that could be improved in the VM config.

Please try the VirtualBox test build 6.1.35r150972 (or newer), which includes a potential bugfix.

Alternatively, prevent Hyper-V from running on your Windows host: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).
