Why the fuck are my VMs running like shit on my new PC? Is VirtualBox 7.2 broken?

Hmmmmm
00:00:03.316528 NEM: Note! VirtualBox is not able to run at its full potential in this execution mode.
00:00:03.316528 NEM: To see VirtualBox run at max speed you need to disable all Windows features
00:00:03.316528 NEM: making use of Hyper-V. That is a moving target, so google how and carefully
00:00:03.316529 NEM: consider the consequences of disabling these features.

@matrix If you have WSL configured, say goodbye to Virtualbox. It's supposed to have an option for a Hyper-V backend, but I never got that to work.

@phnt I don't, I think, it's a new install and I never turned it on

@matrix Then it's that issue I also had few months ago I didn't manage to figure out.

@phnt oh, I think I mighy know what's the issue, Memory Integrity is on by default. I will try disabling that once a transcode finishes

@phnt Virtualization-based Security is still on! What the fuck!

@matrix Yeah, it's stupidly hard to get working. I completely gave up on VirtualBox, couldn't download VMWare due to Broadcom being retarded (I'm not making an account just to download VMWare), and ultimately settled on using Hyper-V.

It sucks, has no fucking concept of passing the video output besides a tiny window that barely works. But at least it works.
@matrix Btw the intended way of getting video out of a Hyper-V VM is through RDP or VNC.
@matrix Somehow Windows managed to make virtualization more hard than on my work CrapBook where both UTM and Parallels just work.
