Hi,
I'm using VirtualBox 6.1.26 on a Linux Mint 20.2 (Kernel 5.11.0-40) on a Intel Laptop I7-1185G7.
The Win10 Guest is starting well. But when I start a program with causes heavy access on the hdd the VM freezes.
Guest Additions are already updated. Can someone help me?

I've updated to VBox 6.1.28 R147628 but I have the same freeze effect....

Provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

I don't think that 1 core and 2048MB RAM will keep Win10 happy. I would increase to 2 cores (not more), and 8192MB RAM.
I see you started off with ancient Guest Additions too, but updated them during that session?
You should enable 3D acceleration. This accelerates all graphics.
I can't say much more since the log appears to have been grabbed while the app still had it open for writing, therefore it is truncated.
I don't see any sign of a freeze in the log fragment provided.

Hi,
when the VM freezes I have only the possibility to lock the VM manually. That should be the reason for the breaking log-file... ... how is it possible to write a complete log?
Yes, I have transfered the vm from VBox 5.2.42. with installed guest-additions. After starting in in 6.1.26 I've updated the guest-additions. Maybe not a good idea...
3D acceleration: I've tried it, but the freeze is already there...
The strange thing this, that when I start with Kernel 5.4.0-90 the freeze is gone. But then the Host runs the graphical driver doesn't support hardware acceleration.

Re: Win10 Guest Freezes on Linux Host (VB 6.1.26)
Problem solved!
The solution is to give the Win10-VM More than 4096-MB of Ram and to cores. HW-Acceleration must be turned off.
After this, the machine causes no freeze. But I don't know the reason. Before this the machine runs good with 2096MBRam and one core...
