Could you please help me?

Thank you in advance

You actually have to have the RAM available before you can dedicate it to a VM.
00:00:04.075259 Host RAM: 12157MB (11.8GB) total, 4658MB (4.5GB) available
...
00:00:04.306686 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000280000000 (10 737 418 240, 10 240 MB, 10.0 GB)
00:00:04.307320 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000000800000 (8 388 608, 8 MB)
About 3GB is the most you should allocate on this host, unless you can free up the majority of the host RAM.

That graphics RAM allocation is ridiculously small. You should increase to 64MB.

Likewise, you actually have to have the cores that you assign to the VM.
00:00:05.541971 CPUM: Logical host processors: 4 present, 4 max, 4 online, online mask: 000000000000000f
00:00:05.541972 CPUM: Physical host cores: 2
...
00:00:04.306683 NumCPUs <integer> = 0x0000000000000004 (4)
There is no ideal setting given that you only have two cores total (i7-7500U), but you should certainly assign no more than 2 cores to the VM.

Looks like you missed two of them:
00:00:03.870474 Host RAM: 12157MB (11.8GB) total, 6886MB (6.7GB) available
00:00:04.330949 RamSize <integer> = 0x0000000280000000 (10 737 418 240, 10 240 MB, 10.0 GB)
00:00:04.331159 VRamSize <integer> = 0x0000000004000000 (67 108 864, 64 MB)

Host CPU status:
00:00:05.326184 CPUM: Logical host processors: 4 present, 4 max, 4 online, online mask: 000000000000000f
00:00:05.326185 CPUM: Physical host cores: 2
Guest CPU settings:
00:00:04.330946 NumCPUs <integer> = 0x0000000000000004 (4)
.333 is pretty decent as a batting average, but not so effective in this case. :lol: Care to take another shot?
