Issues starting Virtual Box (log attached)

Post by Vajra »

Hi there. I seem to be running into some issues with starting my Virtual Box. It's worked for me for years in the past, but now when I try to boot it up it tells me that a critical error has occurred. I've attached the Vbox log. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

You kinda left out a couple important things, like a change in your host computer... :wink:
the log wrote:00:00:00.522179 VirtualBox VM 7.0.4_BETA4 r154605 darwin.arm64 (Nov 17 2022 19:46:40) release log

You've switched to an M1 or M2 Mac, which requires the ARM version of Virtualbox. The ARM version of Virtualbox has never been able to run Windows 10 on an M1/M2 Mac.

Please see the M1/M2 Sticky in Mac Hosts. You won't be able to run this VM on this Mac.
