Do not use the "Other Windows (64-bit)" OS version, which is a fallback version with very few capabilities. Create a new VM and choose the newest OS version matching the OS you want to install (e.g. "Windows 2019 (64-bit)").

That's the very first thing I noticed too, but I decided instead to try Win2019 as a Guest instead. Installing for quite some time now...

"Windows 2016 (64-bit)", no 2019 yet, not even on the 6.1.0b2... ;)

'fth0', speaking of guest types (and options) I finally updated the Template defaults (Global.cpp revisions) topic, let me know if you'd like a LibreOffice spreadsheet as well...

Guess where I got the wrong information from. ;) (I'm still using VirtualBox 5.2.34, and took a quick look into your Global.csv file before answering.)

I'd be interested in the LibreOffice spreadsheet. What are the differences to the CSV file?

Guess who missed the "#if 0 ... #endif" part! :oops:
But still, even though I'm not a C guru, that "#if...#endif" statement seems to be commented out, yet 2019 is AWOL. I don't know what's going on actually, I'm a tad lost... :?

It's already setup with auto-filters, has frozen windows for easier navigation, breaks down the individual "osHint" options. Look for an update in the appropriate thread, .ODS file coming up within the hour...

Windows Server 2019 is based on Windows 10 Version 1809.

I installed a "Win2019 Server Essentials" VM with the "Windows 2016 (64-bit)" version just fine...
