Hello, good day to whom this may concern. I have just downloaded the iso for windows server 2019, however as soon as I proceed to run it for the installation of the windows server, I get a guru meditation error. i have gone through other forms with similar problems, yet haven't been able to solve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kind regards.

Hyper-V is enabled. See
HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)
After that, use the VM's General settings to change the Basic tab, Version dropdown to Windows 2016 64-bit (The 2019 template has a bug, and Server 2019 will run in 2016's template). Also go to System Settings, Acceleration tab, Paravirtualization Interface, set to 'Hyper-V'. (This is not the Hyper-V you turned off above. It is a comm channel provided by modern virtualization-aware OS's to talk to the hypervisor they're running on.)
