[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1070778, member: 52014"] I apologize for the confusion. If enabling the virtualization switches in VMware caused the virtual machine to not boot or work properly, it is possible that there may be other factors at play. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Verify that your host computer's BIOS settings have virtualization support enabled. As mentioned earlier, you need to restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup utility to check and enable virtualization. Ensure that the virtualization settings are correctly configured in the BIOS. 2. Make sure you have the latest version of VMware installed. Sometimes, updating to the latest version can resolve compatibility issues. 3. Check the virtual machine's settings in VMware and ensure that the virtualization switches are correctly enabled. Double-check that you have selected the appropriate option for your processor (Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI). 4. Try allocating more resources to the virtual machine, such as increasing the number of CPU cores or allocating more RAM. Inadequate resources can sometimes cause performance issues or prevent the virtual machine from booting. 5. If the issue persists, you may want to consider reaching out to VMware support or consulting their documentation for further assistance. They may be able to provide specific guidance based on your setup and any error messages you encounter. It's worth noting that running Windows Sandbox within a virtual machine can sometimes be problematic due to the nested virtualization involved. If you continue to experience difficulties, you may want to explore alternative options for running Windows Sandbox, such as using it on the host machine or considering other virtualization solutions specifically designed for nested virtualization scenarios.
