I'm a novice, so I apologize.

I am getting a blank scren when I start the vm. I initially get the "VirtualBox 6.0" screen , but it then goes to that black screen indefinitely.

I got the ISO from the Microsoft site.

Please advise on what i'm doing wrong, I'm sure it's my fault some how.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

You apologize for being a ... novice? You do realize that all of us humans started crawling, before walking, before running, right?

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:

• Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe or recreate the problem / 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.

Before we make bad assumptions, can you clarify which ISO you got?

Since the OP boots from the ISO and gets a blank screen, that ISO would be registered in the VBox.log, no? The OP boots the VM with it after all...

But you're right, the OP could have renamed the ISO during the save, or even afterwards. A confirmation never hurt anyone!

It seems that you have a Hyper-V component enabled. You can tell if this is true from the status bar where the "slow" icon () shows. Look at the topic "I have a 64bit host, but can't install 64bit guests" for some Hyper-V enablers that we're aware of so far.

If VirtualBox is running without Hyper-V enabled, where proper, hardware virtualization is actually available, then the standard virtualization icon () would show.
