A couple of things...

You have a "Windows Host" and a "Linux Guest", so this post doesn't belong in the "Windows Guests" area. Since the problem is with your host (see below), I'm moving this to the "Windows Hosts" area.

The VBoxSVC.log is not the log we're looking for, the VBox.log is. And you can get to that by right-clicking on the VM » Show Log.

Finally, even though you didn't include the proper log, I can see your problem from the Status Bar of your VM. It seems that you have Hyper-V enabled. You can tell if this is true from the status bar where the "slow" icon (Image) shows. Look in the "Control Panel" » "Programs and Features" » "Turn Windows features on or off", and make sure that the none of the following are active:
  • Application Guard
  • Credential Guard
  • Device Guard
  • <any> * Guard
  • Containers
  • Hyper-V
  • Virtual Machine Platform
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform
  • Windows Sandbox
If VirtualBox is running without Hyper-V enabled, where proper, hardware virtualization is actually available, then the standard virtualization icon (Image) would show. Disable Hyper-V in your host and see what happens...
