I'm so sorry, I
completely missed the fact that you're running this on a CLI-only host, so there's no "defaults" for you!
That means that you're creating the VM "by hand", with a series of VBoxManage commands, right? Do you have the "script" that you use to create the VM? Post it, either inline or as an attachment, and I'll take a look at it and see what's different from the defaults. To give you an idea, here's what a newly created VM has for a Win8.1:

If you want to see the defaults for other VMs, have a look at the "
Template defaults (Global.cpp revisions)" thread, there's a "Global.csv.zip" file that you can open with a spreadsheet opening application (like LibreOffice) and see the template suggested defaults. It still contains the defaults from 5.2.x, not updated to 6.0.0, but the only thing that you're missing is the vGPU setting, I need to update that...
I completely forgot about that condition!
