Hello, whenever I try to run Server 2019 I get the Guru Meditation error.
I'm new to using VMs. I also tried running it in 2016 Server just to see what would happen, and it began to load but all it did after that was continually restart. This is my first time trying to run a Server, so I apologize if it's something obvious but I'm just at my wits' end here. I believe I uploaded the proper logs. Thank you.

The 2019 template may have a bug in it. Make a new VM and use the 2016 template for Server 2019, and make sure that the VM's System settings, Acceleration, Paravirtualization Interface* says 'Hyper-V'.

(* 'Paravirtualization Interface' is a comm channel for virtualization-aware OS's to talk to whatever hypervisor is running them, so they can run more efficiently. Setting this to Hyper-V does not turn on the host OS's Hyper-V.)

Also, 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, the host OS's Hyper-V is enabled. 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.
