L.S.
I've been working with Windows 7 en 10 for years on Virtualbox. Windows 10 still works in that way, but after starting Windows 7 it hangs/freeze almost immediately. It's impossible to do anything or make a copy of the message. Somebody an idea what I can do?

We're going to need to see a VM log from a complete VM run:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Your VBox.log file shows:

This is hard to diagnose and usually means that the guest has done something strange that it shouldn't. The only obvious thing I can see is that you have allocated both physical cores of your
Intel i5-661 processor to your guest. Try reducing it to 1 core and see if that improves things.
