excessive too slow

Post by nessun0 »

Hello all,
I've changed my notebook. Actually I have a host pc with windows 10 with a Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.30 GHz and RAM 16,0 GB.
I think it is enough.
the problem is that now I'm trying to install a now guest windows 10 system, but I cannot understand why, it is sooooooooo slow.
the guest system has 10gb ram and 4 processors allocated, but after more the 1h the installation (via the iso file) is still at 42% and it seems to be stopped !??!
What it could be? On my old pc it was much much faster?

Ah, BTW I'm running a virtualbox 6.1
And if I go in the monitoring window, the load of the guest and of the VM it is stopped on 0%

Could you help me pleas to understand what is wrong?

thank you

UPDATE
more hours are passed, but it seems that the guest machine is frozen and also the installation is not continuing?!?!

Please right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log.

Search the far left tab's log for this text:

Attempting fall back to NEM

If you find it, Hyper-V is enabled. If you are still running 6.1.14 or earlier, update to 6.1.16, and try again.

If the 6.1.16 log still shows these words, Hyper-V needs to be disabled. See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active).

If you don't find that text, save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

As far I understand, this problem is related with the fact that I use a Home edition as host.
Do you know if it will be fixed somewhen? or it will be always like that?

FTFY. :lol: Hyper-V is on Windows 10 both Home and Pro. You just can't run Hyper-V virtual machines on Home. Virtualbox will work on either Home or Pro, if Hyper-V does not get in the way.

The devs are working on running Virtualbox under Hyper-V. It's getting there, but it hasn't got there yet.
