Hi there community members,

I am having an issue with a "Guru Meditation" window that comes up immediately or moments after running a VM. In the past I have had the same issue where restarting my host PC seemed to solve it. For academic purposes I run different OSs, but cant seem to run any of them. Any help on what I can do to get my machines up and running?

I have attached a log of the last VM that unexpectedly stopped.

Thanks in advance,

Your 3rd-party antivirus has probably enabled its internal setting to use hardware virtualization for its scanning. This setting interferes with Virtualbox. Disable the antivirus setting for hardware virtualization and Virtualbox will probably work fine again.

VMs are now up and running! My antivirus did have "Enable hardware-assited vitualization" ON.

Thank you scottgus1!

Great! Glad you're up and running.
