Windws 11 keeps freezing for the most basic things on VB

Post by robertluke »

I am having this issue where Windows 11 suddenly stops responding in VirtualBox. I can only get it back to respond after I power off the virtual machine without saving. I have seen here about turning of core isolation and Hyper-V. I believe I have done both. I have also assigned 100gb, 8gbram and 4 threads and hardly got anything done before it freezes. Here is my log attached. Anyone with this experience too?

I fixed the issue by turning on 3d acceleration.
I however ran into a new but minor issue: Windows 11 apps and options (when right clicking) background is 100% transparent. This doesn't happen when I turn off 3d acceleration

Disable transparency effects inside Windows 10/11. Search for the setting.

I had an issue with Windows 11 22H2 transparency. It would be transparent. As soon as I turned off 3D, then the issue was resolved.

There is no sense in disabling the entire 3D performance benefit when the single problematic feature - transparency - can easily be disabled in the Windows guest.

FYI, when I disabled in Windows guest, it did not work. Had to uncheck from the vm manager in order for it to work for my situation.

Disabling transparency in windows 11 does not fix the issue for me. Only disabling 3D setting in the VM stops the freezing. If you install guest addition and go fullscreen it will freeze very quickly. There is something wrong with a driver I think. A lot of people have this problem.
