virtualbox.org

I've been running Windows 10 on Virtual box 5.0.16 on Ubuntu 12.04 host with no problems for a while now. After I had a kernel update (I'm thinking this caused the problem), the virtualboz started to crash the accounting software I was using. Then I can't run the box any more - it hangs on start - infinite loop. And when I install a new virtualbox using the windows 10 image it loads OK then won't update and crashes with multiple windows errors. I have attached my latest log for review.

Would greatly appreciate any help. I use the virtualbox to run windows software for work and I need to resolve this!

Disabling Fast Startup should solve your problem with Windows 10 hanging out on initial startup

Disable Fast Startup feature in Windows 10, follow these instructions:

• Go to Search

• Type po bu (short for power buttons) in the search box. It will bring you directly to the ‘Change what the power buttons do’ applet in search results. Click it.

• System Settings window will appear

• Click on the ‘Change settings that are currently unavailable’ link to see the available Shutdown options

• Untick the Turn on fast startup (enabled) option

I had this problem with a new copy of Windows 10 x64 from Microsoft's Edge developer program (dated 2017-03-20). After playing around with a lot of different settings, I eventually fixed it just by upgrading VirtualBox from 5.0.28 to 5.1.26.
