Windows Guest Shuts Down when idle for some time

Post by bubudenden »

I am setting up a development environment using virtualbox and when my guest machines are idle for some time, it just automatically shuts down. Is there a setting to prevent this?

Make sure that screen savers and power management is turned off on the guest.
This usually causes this problem.
