I tried to create a VM for Kali Linux and, after selecting the ISO and select the first option Graphic Install , the Screen goes Black. I tried also Ubuntu and CentOS, and the result is the same, black screen.

I checked the Hyper-V in Windows and it is not enabled.

I Uninstalled and installed Oracle Virtual Box for older versions and didn“t work, also.

The ISOs I used were kali-linux-2019.4-amd64, ubuntu-18.04.5-desktop-amd64 and CentOS-8.3.2011-x86_64-minimal .

00:00:33.525077 HM: HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM: VT-x is not available
00:00:33.556423 NEM: WHvCapabilityCodeHypervisorPresent is TRUE, so this might work...
As mentioned in the other topic, you do have Hyper-v enabled.

When you no longer have the above lines in your log then you will know that you have disabled everything that implicitly enables Hyper-v.

Please read the FAQ HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)
