Setting up new machine gives "UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2"
Setting up new machine gives "UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2"
When I try to add a new machine and Start VirtualBox, instead of the ISO booting I get the attached screen the first line of which reads UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2. I have tried several different iso files with the same result. I suspect a very simple change to Settings or something else will cure it - advice would be much welcomed.

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
Also, FYI the Windows Snipping Tool makes far better screenshots than a jpeg photo from your handheld phone.

Thank you for your reply. Zip file attached.
Just a little extra information. I managed to create a VM by not attaching the iso file in the Storage tab and just opening the new machine and selecting the iso when asked.

At the (U)EFI Shell prompt, enter "exit" to get to the (U)EFI Boot Manager, then select the (virtual) CD/DVD to boot from.

Thanks - that worked.
