[Resolved] VM BOX Crashed with Win 10 Admin Dialog Box

[double_dd]

Hi,

Using Win 10 on a Macbook Pro running Mojave.

When trying to update some software on the VM when I 'run as administrator' and the yellow security dialog box pops up VMBox crashes. I've tried switched security alerts off but it crashes when I need to accept.

Any known issues?

Cheers

Just to get it right... You launch a program in a Win10 VM, and VirtualBox crashes??? That's bizarre to say the least...

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:

• Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
• With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
• Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Well...The Virtual Machine crashes, not the mac Virtual Box software.

See message and log below.

The log provided does not seem to be relevant. It only shows 4 minutes of runtime.

I would also attend to the warning (by ejecting the install DVD): "The image file '/Users/Damien/Desktop/Win10_1809Oct_English_x64.iso' is inaccessible and is being ignored. Please select a different image file for the virtual DVD drive."

I switched on the VM, it was only running for 4 mins until it crashed after trying to install the program update I'm trying to do. I'm not sure how longer logs would help if this is how long it takes for the issue to happen?

I can sort out the issue with the ISO separately.

Fixed the ISO issue, new logs (Log and Log1) attached. I can't give you anything more as these logs are me:

- Logging into Win10
- opening the downloads folder
- running .exe file as administrator
- the Win10 crash

Fixed the ISO issue, new logs (Log and Log1) attached.

? Both logs still show the install ISO mounted in the VM. Why is it needed? You have already installed the OS, correct?

[double_dd]

Yep - it's not needed. I will remove it.

is this the cause of the crash though?

[mpack]

That's what we're about to find out.

[double_dd]

well it's not that. see log

VirtualBox VM 5.2.24 r128163 darwin.amd64 (Jan 14 2019 16:00:58) release log

Can you try with 6.0.2?

[double_dd]

Updating fixed the crashing issue thanks.

I just had to up the scale so the VM filled the screen on full screen mode.
