Industry observers note that however, virtual Windows systems can run agonizingly slowly even on well-equipped computers. Oracle’s VirtualBox virtualization programs, which lets you run other operating systems inside Windows, generally runs smoothly, especially on PCs with a fast CPU and sufficient RAM.
In a fresh development, if VirtualBox detects Hyper-V on a PC, the tool automatically utilizes certain components of this virtualization ecosystem. Oracle describes the capability in its online help as “experimental” and notes that performance may be affected. In most cases, this is due to Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtualization capability on the host machine interfering with VirtualBox.
The report highlights that to do this, close the virtual machine and exit VirtualBox. Then open the Control Panel and, in Icon View, go to “Programs and Mechanics” → “Turn Windows functions on or off.”. To resolve this issue, you must uninstall Hyper-V.
Industry observers note that finally, restart your PC. Uncheck the boxes next to “Hyper-V,” “Windows Hypervisor Stack,” and “Windows Sandbox,” then confirm by clicking “OK” and wait for Windows to remove the relevant components.
