Unable to run my VM in Windows 11.

[zyinsing]

Hello,
I would like to seek advise how to resolve this issue. The virtual box is running with no issues in our Windows 10 laptop however if we try it on Windows 11, nothing is happening. We already checked that hyper v is not enabled in Windows 11 but still not able to use the VM.

Attached is the log file from our windows 11 laptop.

Appreciate for any inputs.

Thanks.

nothing is happening. We already checked that hyper v is not enabled

Actually the log shows a running headless VM without apparent problems, and that host Hyper-V is enabled.

Regarding Hyper-V, please see HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

Regarding "nothing is happening", what exactly is happening (or not happening) on the 11 host's VM that is different on the 10 host?

Please note that a headless VM will not show a window when starting. Maybe you're starting it differently?

As mentioned, Hyper-v is definitely running on this host.

00:00:01.653516 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available
00:00:01.802064 NEM: info: Found optional import WinHvPlatform.dll!WHvQueryGpaRangeDirtyBitmap.
00:00:01.802127 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...

And the VM probably is still running, just very slowly - that is a common effect of Hyper-v.

Scott included the FAQ link you should follow.

I also note that your host has 6 cores (12 threads, but we don't care about threads). You give 4 cores to guest code, and that is IMO a bad idea. I would reduce to 2 cores - let the host use them (and bear in mind that VirtualBox itself is host code, not guest code).
