I'm not sure how to best describe the issue I am having....
I am running on a Lenovo Ideapad 15ALC7 with 12GB memory (9.85 usable) and Windows 11 Pro
My guest machine is running Windows 10 Home 32-bit with 4 GB memory.
After I start the virtual machine, it sometimes functions normally, but other times, the screen goes blank (teal in this case; the desktop and taskbar are not showing):
The following attachments are from task manager:
I'm not sure why the VM is using 4418.1 MB (unless there is some 322 MB used in overhead)

Re: Guest Machine hangs
Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
Re: Guest Machine hangs
After my VB machine hung, I took it to Best Buy and increased the memory from 12GB to 24GB, which has made a marked improvement in the machine running

I do intend to see if version 7.0 works better on this machine that it did earlier (I've been using 6.40 after version 7 didn't boot up properly....
When I shut down the VM Tuesday and today, there was this error message
The previous time it occurred, it went by too fast for me to catch and read it, but tonight I was able to get a screenshot of it.I do intend to see if version 7.0 works better on this machine that it did earlier (I've been using 6.40 after version 7 didn't boot up properly....
Re: Guest Machine hangs
Another go around with that error message on shutdown:

Re: Guest Machine hangs
Bill: Thanks for your post!
I did have to turn off Memory Integrity to get the vbox machine to run without using so much system resources (213 MB vs. 3900 or higher MB) ... but there is a concern on my part about it being off (not that I'm going to be anywhere where some malicious process would inject code into memory -- I hope)
