Post by Rabbit »

Windows 10 does not start in "Windows 10 host" the only thing I see when starting Windows 10 is the Windows logo and thats all.

  • Follow a "start the VM from cold-boot"/"observe error"/"shutdown the VM" cycle.
  • With the VM shut down completely (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Windows 10 requires a lot more than 1024 MB of RAM. Since you have the 32-bit, I wouldn't go higher than 3-3.5 GB of RAM.
00:00:02.117553 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000040000000 (1 073 741 824, 1 024 MB)
Your 2D and 3D acceleration is off. Enable it in the VM Settings » Display.
00:00:43.254344 GUI: 2D video acceleration is disabled

I see you have an ISO image of what I presume is a Windows 10 installer DVD. Where did you get this ISO image? If it was a download then have you done an MD5 checksum test to detect a corrupted download?

More seriously I see this :-
VBox.log wrote: 00:00:02.117948 HM: HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes
A Windows-10 guest requires VT-x, even if the guest is 32bit.
