I installed Docker Desktop and VirtualBox has stopped working

Post by BuonaForchetta »

I installed Docker Desktop and VirtualBox has stopped working. I also tried uninstalling Docker, repairing VirtualBox installation but didn't fix. When I open the VM the Windows 10 wheel rotates without stopping and after a long time the CPU of my PC reaches 100%. How do I resolve?

Docker enables Hyper-V in Windows hosts. See See HMR3Init: Attempting fall back to NEM (Hyper-V is active)

If you need Docker and VirtualBox on Windows please use Virtualbox 6.1.30 as it was the last version to work with Hyper-V enabled on Windows.

Thank you very much but I have decided to keep VirtualBox updated and install Docker inside a VM.

Docker for Windows will run allot faster than in a VM, but Docker in a VM will allow you to give the VM to other devs and back it up.

Been there done both... Both have advantages and disadvantages and when you dig down and compare them I could not find a clear winner, so go for it, but make sure you backup the VM when you do updates is my advice.

Just being curious: What setups did you compare exactly?
