Your guest had a Guru Meditation:

00:00:56.219641 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
00:00:56.219642 !!
00:00:56.219643 !! VCPU0: Guru Meditation -2701 (VERR_VMM_RING0_ASSERTION)
00:00:56.219729 !!
00:00:56.219743 !!R0-Assertion Failed!!

Googling VERR_VMM_RING0_ASSERTION showed viewtopic.php?f=6&t=82956 and viewtopic.php?f=7&t=79837#p373236, suggesting another program might be trying to use VT-x, which is quite likely on your Windows 10 host (see I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests Carefully go through each command in the 2nd & 3rd posts.)

There... I fixed it for you...

But what's more "interesting" is the error message, I don't think I've seen this previously, maybe I've missed it:

I've seen that before. Somebody got a funny bone!

Well, I changed the number of processors and enable PAE/Nx and it worked.
