[Solved] Can't start any VM

Post by Drawned »

Hello everyone. My VirtualBox can't start any virtual machine I have. A couple of weeks ago I successfully used VirtualBox.
I even create new simple VM for checking.
I see that this is an error but I can't figure out what is wrong.

Code: Select all

00:00:01.102607 emR3Debug: rc=VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
00:00:01.106660 ERROR [COM]: aRC=NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057) aIID={4680b2de-8690-11e9-b83d-5719e53cf1de} aComponent={DisplayWrap} aText={Argument aWidth is invalid (must be aWidth != 0 && aWidth <= 32767)}, preserve=false aResultDetail=0
I would be grateful for your help.
I can't upload log file due restriction of maximum allowed size.

Zip the log and it will upload just fine. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Again with "VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED"!

Try this:
  1. Increase VM RAM to 2048MB.
  2. Increase vCPU count to 2.
  3. Disable the nested VT-x/AMD-v setting.
  4. Make sure you don't have any other VM platform running at the same time, e.g. KVM, Docker, etc, as that will conflict with VirtualBox.

I just had shut down QEMU (Winapps) instance and everything worked fine.
Thanks.
