Installing Windows 10 21H2 in a VM fails

Using the default settings for Windows 10, x64 iso and x64 vm.
I have a Ubuntu 22.04 VM on this same system that works perfectly fine, too

Default settings are not necessarily the best ones, you still need to make intelligent decisions, but you should know why you are overriding the devs template decision.
In particular the CPU and RAM settings are designed to be conservative: you should definitely override those if you have the resources, which you do in the case of CPU cores: which I would therefore increase to 2 cores. Maybe also increase RAM to 4GB.
I would also enable 3D acceleration in the graphics settings.
And 6.1.34 came out a few days ago - you should update.
The error you get is a triple fault almost immediately as a CD boot begins, which often means that the ISO image is corrupted. If possible you should compare MD5 sums with a known good original, or just download it again.

Yeah, I set it to better settings earlier, but it crashed the same way so I thought I'd test it with the default settings and post that here.

I don't think that applies since I have a x64 Ubuntu 22.04 VM but i'll try it since I redownloaded the disc image and that didn't work either
EDIT: it probably does apply since the logfile contains
Code: Select all
CPUM: WARNING! Can't turn on NX/XD when the host doesn't support it!

Yep, that solves the problem. Thanks!
