Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Attachments tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)

here is the zipped VBox.log file, thank you ( sorry for the delay)

Thanks for the log.

Looks like you're running the ARM version of Virtualbox for M1/M2 Macs.

Please see M1/M2 Mac 7.0 Beta Status.
XP is the latest Windows OS reported working on the M1/M2 beta. More modern Windows won't run. Similar limits in Linux.

Hello again,
so since Linux is not really compatible with my Mac M1, I tried to set up a Windows environment, I get the windows logo then receive the same error message " a critical error has occurred while running the VM..."
attached is the new VBox.log of Windows:
please help ((
thank you!

[scottgus1]

so since Linux is not really compatible with my Mac M1,

That's not what the sticky said. It says that very old Linux may work.

I tried to set up a Windows environment,

XP is the latest Windows OS reported working on the M1/M2 beta. More modern Windows won't run.

Are you aware that Windows 10 is a tad more modern than Windows XP? "More modern Windows won't run."

Please engage your reading comprehension API and try that sticky again.
