VirtualBox Workaround

VirtualBox Workaround in Windows 10 2004 (stock and stripped)

There's a random VirtualBox 6.x crash issue in Windows 10 2004 when using latest GPU drivers. The error looks like "The instruction 0x00007FFD2E6AF43C (or some random hex) referenced memory at 0x0000000000000000". There are 2 ways to fix it.

The first way is to change the Virtual GPU to vmsvga. This will also get rid of 3D acceleration, so if you need 3D you will want to do the other way instead.

1. Double click the VM

2. Go to Display

3. Change the Virtual GPU to vmsvga.

The second way is to install VirtualBox 5.2.

1. Uninstall the Extension Pack from the settings (if you have it)

2. Close VirtualBox

3. Uninstall VirtualBox in Programs

4. Reboot your PC

5. Install VirtualBox 5.2

6. Optionally install the Extension Pack

After doing this, everything should work as expected.

A third way would obviously be waiting for the developers to fix the problem.
