Slow boot up and Guest seems to be unresponsive (6.1.32)

I see that the VM takes about 6 minutes to boot.

Additionally the CPU of the host some times gets really high due to the VM.

And additionally I see in the logs something like this: Guest seems to be unresponsive

I can not see where is the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You have the 6.1.32 Hyper-V bug.

Our forum guru 'fth0' has done some troubleshooting and pins down these possibilities to try (HCVI = Microsoft 'Memory Integrity'):
6.1.32 without Hyper-V
6.1.30 with Hyper-V but without HVCI
6.1.26 with Hyper-V and HVCI.

To disable Hyper-V, see HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)

Thanks for the answer.

I have disabled Hyper-V as mentioned in the pointed thread and it seems the VM boots up faster.

However, the drawback is that I cannot use WSL2.

Is there anywy VB and WSL can coexist?

WSL2 does require Hyper-V.

Understood, thanks.

I hope next release will come up soon with this bugfix and working with Hyper-V.
