Hi, I am receiving the below message when attempting to open VM - the same error for both Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

IT student assessment - new computer bought for VM purpose. Attempted everything prior to posting.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win 10 Test.
Call to WHvSetupPartition failed: ERROR_SUCCESS (Last=0xc000000d/87) (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Thank you

To help you get to your solutions faster in the future, you can try searching for the error text (the CAPITALIZED_UNDERSCORE_SPACED words) in a web browser with the text "site:forums.virtualbox.org" added to restrict searching to this forum.

So use your favorite search engine to search this:
VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED site:forums.virtualbox.org
This is a new but common problem, has been discussed many times on the forum.

Hi, thank you for the reply.
As mentioned I have tried everything suggested in the google searches.

I have been able to eliminate some of the problems but still cant get Virtual box to open in either Windows 10 or Ubuntu.

So I uploaded to the forum with the error messages.

Is there anything else you would recommend?

Hopefully, what you might have come across in your searches is this:

• Application Guard
• Credential Guard
• Device Guard
• <any> * Guard
• Containers
• Hyper-V
• Virtual Machine Platform
• Windows Hypervisor Platform
• Windows Sandbox
• Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

If that doesn't work, enter the following command:

• 
  bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

followed by a cold boot, i.e. shut down the computer, pull the power plug for 10 seconds, reboot.

I might add that the 'bcdedit' command may have to be run in a Run-As-Admin command window.

Try all of this, it's supposed to clear up the error you're getting.
