Windows 10 installation fails

Post by llamafilm »

Hello. I've had a Windows 10 x64 guest running successfully in the past on my MacBook Pro, but today when I tried to launch, it boots to a blue screen saying the PC needs to be repaired. If I keep pressing Enter to retry, it shows a few different error codes, including 0xc0000221 and 0xc0000001. I'm running VirtualBox 6.1.34 on Big Sur 10.6.5 with matching extension pack.

I don't have anything important on this guest, so I decided to try reinstalling a new one, this time using Windows 10 32-bit version. It goes through the Windows installation, then reboots several times, and then says it could complete the installation. Here's a screenshot of this error, and the log file attached. I downloaded this ISO from Microsoft, called Win10_21H2_English_x32.iso. I set the guest type to Win 10 32-bit and left all the other settings at default.

Set the VM's number of processors to 2 and try again.
