@domuncolo I believe this error is more related to Virtual Box and not related to Azure. I found this potential solution. Please check to see if it helps. If you need further assistance, I recommend posting your question on the Virtual Box forum.

Execute this:

VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --spec-ctrl on
