Hi Everyone,
I am running VM 6 on My windows 10.

Your guru meditatied on "VERR_VMX_INVALID_GUEST_STATE". Web-searching "VERR_VMX_INVALID_GUEST_STATE site:forums.virtualbox.org" shows this has a lot to do with running multiple layers of hypervisor, which is what Minikube somehow appears to be.

Your Virtualbox guest had no trouble with VT-x when it started:

00:00:03.211096 HM: HMR3Init: VT-x w/ nested paging and unrestricted guest execution hw support

You have a "Intel® Core™ i7-4600M" processor, only two hyperhtreaded cores. (Come on, Intel, that's marketing-speak cheating. 2-core I7? Really... This is just an I3 on steroids. )

You do have both cores in the guest, which I do all the time on my 2-core-hyperhtreaded i5 laptop, without trouble, though I haven't tried Minikube. Try reducing VM core count to 1?

The guest ran fine for over 6 minutes until it crashed, consistent with:

After installing Minikube, when i start it

Minikube says it's supposed to work in a Virtualbox guest: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/ ... -minikube/

I wonder if your processor, dating from 2013, might be too old for this task? I don't see anything glaringly obvious in the log, though.
