hi,
I recently installed virtual box on a Windows host. I have tried running parrot os and kail Linux neither worked.
when trying to boot parrot I can't touch the arrow keys or it hangs if I just press enter the - symbol flashes
on kail Linux, it does the same thing but if you press enter it says clear CPU buffers attempted no microcode
after stopping virtual box in task manager the bottom windows bar disapered my background disapered and the windows key does not work after I installed virtual box my pc also blue screened 4 times I am about to uninstall if I don't respond in a while my pc is broke
logs
sorry for the bad post wish I was able to do better

On the other hand, you don't have too much available RAM on your host. Either close some applications on the host, or buy more RAM for the host.
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.00:00:04.112760 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available 00:00:04.131967 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...
