Answer 1

I am from Spain so am Using W10 Home Spanish version

Unknow how I get Hyper-V active, probably trying to instal Microsoft Sandbox with the sandbox-installer.zip

file at Deskmodder (which did not work either).

My VM VirtualBox went south after that and I have spend three days reading and trying lots of non-working solutions.

Luckily I have found one that has restored my virtual box

In a  Powershell window opened as Administrator

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype Off

reboot two times. I did them as cold reboot (unswitching computer from mains more than 10 seconds)

Hope it work for you too

Answer 5

Have you tried a previous version of VirtualBox, perhaps 6.0.10 or 6.0.8. Or even go back to version 5.

Strangely looking at you screenshot I don't have a setting for Windows Sandbox. I was under the impression that was only available with Windows 10 Pro. You could uncheck and restart that but I doubt it will make a difference.

Do you get the error when you try to run VirtualBox initially or when you launch a new machine.

I had to replace my graphics card a few years ago as I lost some functionality in machines in VirtualBox and more recently tried VMWare but that will not run a machine and warns me of a problem with processor support.

Your GPU may be part of your problem and/or your processor or motherboard support. My system was custom built in 2010, an original i5 with an Nvidia GT710.

You may never be able to run VirtualBox.
