VirtualBox broken after installing/uninstalling Docker

Hi !

I had to install Docker for school and they forgot to tell us VirtualBox couldn't exist on the same host as Docker. They also made us install some Linux thing for Docker, WSL 2 kernel or something like it

I can't start my Windows Server VM anymore, it goes into Guru Mediation.

I attached the log files.

Any help would be appreciated !

I tried turning on and off Hyper-V and rebooting in between but no luck.

WSL2 will certainly interfere with VirtualBox, just as docker and Hyper-V do. You simply can't have any of them active and run a Windows Server vm at the same time.

The only way is to allow the vm to run while they are installed is to prevent the Windows hypervisor from loading. That will allow VIrtualBox to run, bun prevent wsl2, docker etc from running.

See this post, particularly the last section. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339
