Is VT-x/AMD-v enabled in the guest settings and is hardware virtualization enabled in you hosts bios?

I don't follow blind links. You can attach files here. But you didn't answer if hardware virtualization was enabled in the hosts bios.

First bit is guest and second bit is host
Code: Select all
00:00:01.125528 VMX - Virtual Machine Technology = 0 (1)
VirtualBox does not see the VT-x bit for the guest.
Boot the host PC to the bios screen and check that the hardware virtualization is enabled.

Do you have something running on the host that is using VMX besides VirtualBox? Hyper-v, some debug programs, Google, Etc. ?

The only thing that I have seen cause this I have mentioned in my last post. I have no way to know what you have installed on your system so I can't speculate as to what it could be. Only way I know to trace this down is to stop services on the host until you find out what it is. Some virus software also do this.

That's different. In that case you should report this to
bugtracker or try the new release 4.2.6 in case it makes a difference.
