Shortly after attempting to start the VM with Windows 7, I get the guru meditation.
The vbox.log and vbox.png should be attached in a zip file.
This VM was working (with issues) yesterday. Some corporate software updates were pushed to the host computer I'm running this on and it was rebooted. I don't know what changes they made and can't turn all their stuff off. It's locked down. So, if you can figure out what's going on here or have any other suggestions for how to get this working again, that would be great. I have tried this repeatedly and also rebooted my computer. It does the same thing every time.

Re: Guru meditation - Windows 7 on Windows 10
This one eludes me, unfortunately. The host's AMD-V is available and being used by Virtualbox, everything that I see seems copacetic. Then the guest triple-faults soon as it touches the guest drive file...
Uninstall Virtualbox then reinstall by right-clicking the installer and choose Run As Administrator, even if you already are an admin. If that doesn't fix it, try making a new fresh guest as a test, see if it runs.
If neither works and no forum gurus identify something in the log, you might have to sell your boss on how not having Virtualbox on your workstation interferes with your work, and the boss might get IT to fix your workstation.

Thanks.
I have tried reinstalling VirtualBox 6.1.12, reinstalled version 6.1.4. None of the safe boot mode options work. Only the repair option runs (doesn't fix the machine though).
I installed a new VM from the .ova file that I used to create this one and the new one works. So, it seems that somehow my original VM has just been broken beyond repair.

That does happen, it is a computer after all. Glad you found that the host Virtualbox was still working!Riolinda wrote:I installed a new VM from the .ova file that I used to create this one and the new one works. So, it seems that somehow my original VM has just been broken beyond repair.
Check your host drive for bad sectors, maybe a bit flipped somewhere.
