I have tried a lot and most of times I receive error messages "Failed to Open Session" or " Call to WHvSetupPartition failed: ERROR_SUCCESS (Last=0xc000000d/87) (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED). " …. below are the specs of Laptop hardware.....Windows is 64 bit

First and foremost you should be helping yourself. For example by searching the webs for something unique that identifies your problem. The unique part is the error, and more specifically the "VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED" part. Start by searching for that, and restricting it to the VirtualBox forums, something like:

• 
  VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED site:forums.virtualbox.org

You'll most probably find a gazillion of result, most of them pointing to the solution: "I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests". Read the whole thread and you'll know what to do...

Hello,
today I want to start a virtual machine, but I've got an error message.

Call to WHvSetupPartition failed: ERROR_SUCCESS (Last=0xc000000d/87) (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED)

What can I do?

I attach the log of it.
Maybe it is important to say that I setup Hyper-V today.

Have a nice Weekend!

I merged your thread with a similar one that deals with the same issue, please read it from the beginning. It really helps if you search the forums before posting a new thread. From your log:

00:00:04.237627 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available
00:00:04.298388 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...

It seems that you have a Hyper-V component enabled. You can tell if this is true from the status bar where the "slow" icon () shows. Look at the topic "I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests" for some Hyper-V enablers that we're aware of so far.

If VirtualBox is running without Hyper-V enabled, where proper, hardware virtualization is actually available, then the standard virtualization icon () would show.

Changing the whole thread's title from "HP Zbook and Windows Enterprise 10 issues" and "VirtualBox Error" to something more appropriate. Moving the whole thing from "Using VirtualBox" to "Windows Hosts".


PS. For future reference you should ZIP your logs. It helps you, it helps us, it helps the server, it helps save a (virtual) tree or two...
