Windows 10 guest freezes intermittently, but very frequent.
9 out of 10 times during guest boot. Guest display just stops updating and I am not able to shutdown the guest properly. Not even with ACPI shutdown.
Sometimes windows gets beyond user login, but soon after I have started using the system, it freezes.
I have tried a bunch of settings, played around with everything from 3D acceleration to memory and CPU cores. All in vain.
VirtualBox 5.1.26 incl Guest additions.
Host: Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit, 16GB RAM
Guest: Windows 10, 64 bit, 6GB RAM
I have a linux guest also which shows no or few problems.

- Please ZIP the logs before posting them. Helps save a (virtual) tree or two...
- Please close the VM before taking the log. If you can't, just power it off. But don't copy the VBox.log while the VM process is active.
- Playing around with the settings at random can have one and only one effect; screw up your VM. Big time. For example:
00:00:00.618551 ICH9 <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)
Why did you feel the need to change the chipset to something "experimental and not recommended except for OSX guests"? Please change it back to the default PIIX3.
- This is what the partial log end with abruptly:

- Consolidating your snapshots might help you, because in order to get to the current HD state, you have to go through 3 snapshots, which increases the I/O on the host, which might be causing delays.
- Under VM Settings » Storage » select each of the controllers and disable the "Use Host I/O Cache". See if that changes the situation.
