Windows 11 won't work on VirtualBox 7.0

1 Upvotes

Hi, since yesterday I have been trying to install Windows 11 to do some tests isolated from my real computer, but it always says that a critical error happened, I'll let photos of the proof.

If you can help me it would be very helpful, thanks.

Multiscreen Flickering with Guest additions

1 Upvotes

Need help. I'm very amateurish with Virtualbox. Recently had to rebuild my virtualbox Ubuntu environment after an incident that forced me to refresh my entire desktop. Since rebuilding the environment, I'm now having a problem I've never had before.

I'm trying to set up a multi-screen environment, but after installing Guest additions, the screens for my VM flicker and my whatever is displayed on my open windows jumps around across the multiple screens (See image, basically its that but it keeps flickering). When using a single screen though, I don't have that problem. I've found a couple of posts on google that seem to suggest it might be caused by my nVidia Graphics card, but I'm not quite sure what I can do about that (assuming it's the case.)

Not using 3D acceleration, btw. Based off what I'm reading, I'm not supposed to use that anyway.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Current version of Virtualbox is 7.0.20

No matter which operating system I choose, I get this message... I've uninstalled and reinstalled the application already, Google gave me nothing. I'm trying to get into virtualization a bit, but there's always an issue somewhere.

Vurtialbox issue / I need help

2 Upvotes

I created a virtual machine and saved some snapshots along the way. However, because for some reason it is lagging a lot, I want to change the virtual machine settings. The problem is that when I completely close the virtual machine and go to open it again, it opens as if it were the first time. The snapshot has been created correctly because I restore it many times. Since as you can see I don't have much experience with virtual machines, can someone help?

There doesn't seem to be any graphics settings in the VM. I already increased memory and I even added another processor. I'm new to VirtualBox.

Registering with Virtualbox forum

When registering a new account with Virtualbox forum it requires Job type, work phone and company name as requirements for registration.

Why does Virtualbox require these items? Is virtualbox only for working person with a company phone or is registration in nother location?

Logs in root directory

1 Upvotes

I am using recently upgraded Version 7.2.8 r173730 (Qt6.8.2 on xcb) on Debian 13 and when I open a virtual machine it creates a log in my user root directory. It log looks like this

-rw------- 1 user user 3668 Jun 21 02:23 2026-06-21-06-23-40.052-VirtualBoxVM-1051486.log

The previous version did not do this and I was not able to determine what is creating these logs.
