SOLVED: Windows 10 Install Error: 0x8007025D during VM installation

I am trying to get back into using my skills as a tech and came across a weird issue - corrupt media on VM installation.  I am using the latest version of VirtualBox.  I have downloaded Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and used it (twice) to create Windows 10 ISOs.  Whenever I try to run it on my system, I get the 0X8007025D error whenever I try to install the OS. 

System has more than enough RAM (32GB total, 8192M for VM), Virtual Disk size is 50GB and I left everything at the defaults. 

Any enlightenment on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    I noticed you edited the question with the solution. Thanks for sharing it with us, it will be very useful for similar issues!

    While it says it is for older systems, information from that link solved the problem.  When I have time to address the issue, I will go back and undo one of the below changes and see if it comes back - binary test to see if it is just one of the issues or both together. 

    Specifically I did these things:

    1. Run “bcdedit /enum {current}”
    2. Note down the hypervisorlaunchtype in case this needs to be reverted
    3. Run “bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off” to disable hypervisor Close the command prompt after   executing the commands and restart the system.

    and

    1. Edit group policy (gpedit)
    2. Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
    3. Double Click on Device Guard on the right hand side to open.
    4. Double Click on "Turn On Virtualization Security" to open a new window
    5. It would be "Not Configured", Select "Disable" and click "Ok"
    6. Close the Group Policy Editor.
    7. Restart the system

    This has been resolved.  I had to disable Hyper-V and turn off virtualization-based security.  Found the answer when I decided to test the ISOs under VMware.    Details at this link:

    Hi, my name is Felipe Lucas, windows expert and user like you.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    Please, try moving the windows 10 iso file to a usb drive and then try creating again the VM.
