Re: Frozen virtual machine
You can start by researching the minimum information needed in a problem report. I.e. an adequate description and a VM log.

Re: Frozen virtual machine
Zip the log and you should have no problem attaching it here. We will still require a description of the circumstances of the problem.

Re: Frozen virtual machine
You'll need to explain the situation with a lot more details. This isn't Twitter, you can use more than 128 characters.
When does the VM freeze? At the beginning? In the middle? Because your VM shut down after you requested it, after more than 4 hours of operation:
When does the VM freeze? At the beginning? In the middle? Because your VM shut down after you requested it, after more than 4 hours of operation:
What we need (besides the details) is a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:04:06:52.349293 Console::powerDown(): A request to power off the VM has been issued (mMachineState=Stopping, InUninit=0) 04:06:52.350441 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDED' to 'POWERING_OFF'
- 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.

Re: Frozen virtual machine
I need to see the log. I asked for the log. I gave you the instructions.
I see you have some issues providing details. If this is a language issue, see https://translate.google.com/

Re: Frozen virtual machine
That log show VT-x is active, good, no seemingly glaring problems like a Guru Meditation, and the guest seems to shut down ok. The guest OS is doing something guest-os-like. Seems that Virtualbox is working.
I do see this in the log:

Have you googled anything like "OOBEREGION Windows 10"? Or "OOBEKEYBOARD Windows 10" from the previous topic?BillG wrote:As before, that is a Windows message, not VirtualBox. You will see that also on a physical machine.

Re: Frozen virtual machine
It no longer freezes after I changed the VM settings to that it will use 4 processors and not only 1 but now every time I finish the setup it resets the windows setup and I have to start from that point:

Re: Frozen virtual machine
Other than ejecting the install CD before the final reboot, then I can't think of anything to try. You should really contact Microsoft if you want Windows support.
I would however reduce the core count in the VM to 2. Your host has 4 cores total, for stability you do NOT want to share all of them with a VM.
