Windows10 VM on Windows10 Host Freezes/BSOD IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

Post by sthsanchez1 »

Upgrading my image from 1909 to 21H2

New image is created and now trying to install all necessary software. After a few minutes, windows within the VM crashed and gives the IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL error. I tried my old image which used to work and now is giving the same error message. Anyone know what might be causing this? I have went ahead and attached my log.


Don't believe this is an issue with the host computer, but did run sfc /scannow. Corrupt files were detected and fixed.
I Upgraded the VB to the latest version 6.1.32

The VM could do with a second CPU core (no more). Also you could enable 3D acceleration, which should improve graphics performance generally.

Your main problem is probably that you have Hyper-v enabled.
