I did a fresh install of windows and BOINC + VB and did not install any add ons to VB or change any of the configurations. I have two PCs I'm trying to get LHC@home to run on: ID: 10860670 Endeavour-x570; this is a Windows 11 PC with just drivers and BOINC VB installed and teamviewer. The system is a Gigabyite Elite Wifi X570 with a AMD Razen 5700G and a Nvidia 1080Ti ID: 10860525 Enterprise-Z790: This is my main PC it's a Asus Z790 Proart creators with a 13th gen i9 and a Nvidia RTX4090 I do have VT support enabled on both PCs. I disabled memory integrity. and I don't have the VB sensation installed just what came with BOINC. I am not sure why this has to be so complicated. It's just getting frustrating and depressing. I don't have any issues with other projects running; it's just LHC@home. LHC@home works on my laptop a MSI GE63. I don't know why it can run on that but not on my two desktops. Thanks for reading. |

Both PC's have Windows 11 Enterprise. Maybe, there are other restrictions as for Win11pro. One of those two showing Hardware Acceleration OFF. |

Every Mainboard have a BIOS. Normaly, when you start your PC and hold F2 or del you come into the BIOS. VT-X or AMD-V is normaly off. You have to enable it for using Hardware Acceleration with Atlas, CMS or Theory. When it is to heavy for you, Sixtrack don't need it, but no work since months. |

As for hardware virtualization you already got some todos in both threads. If you need more details, read the VirtualBox manual: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/topics/TechnicalBackground.html#hwvirt |

I found teh AMD VT settings barried in the UEFI. I forgot to enable it when I updated the CMOS. I have since updated it and now the BOINC event viewer says Project request delay for 6 seconds and I click on update and something. Not sure why. Where are you seeing the error logs? Iv'e been looking on LHC@home and it's showing my computers but I don't see what you see. I maybe missing it as I am visually impaired. |

... Where are you seeing the error logs?... On your project account page you find a link to view your computers. Follow that link to see your computer list. There you have links to either view the computer details or another list that shows the tasks sent to that computer. The task list includes links to the task details which includes the stderr log once the task has been reported back to the project. |
