VM is not starting with 3d acceleration option. But in VB Guest Additions setup options Direct 3D support box is locked (that's the reason I guess) and after the installation of VB Guest Additions the, VM is not starting...
What to do?
OK, what do you mean "won't start"? Does it crash? It doesn't launch at all? Try to enable 3D and then get the VBox.log and attach it here. ZIPped.Yoffus wrote:If I'll enable 3d in VM settings, it won't start - VM won't start. That's the prob.

I also have a HP laptop with AMD switchable graphics which i have upgraded to windows 10, adding Virtualbox.exe manually to switchable graphics and setting it to "high performance" resolved this for me, i guess it works around the Intel graphics issue by running virtualbox graphics on the AMD GPU instead.
Sorry I doubt this helps much if you are missing the switchable graphics application, though i believe i am running the windows 8 drivers supplied on the HP website specifically for my laptop, you may be able to install the windows 8 AMD drivers from HP to get utility back.
