Virtual Box and Hyper-V

Post by tristian »

I found an issue; I'm currently running Windows 10. If the Hyper-V is installed Virtual Box will not be able to run any 64bit Guests.

My apologies if it has already been reported.

It's not an issue with VirtualBox per se. If VirtualBox runs with other virtualization programs, there is no problem because they can share resources. But Hyper-V takes exclusive control of some hardware features, which excludes any other virtualization program. If you want to run VirtualBox, you need to disable Hyper-V.
