You have been given lots of advice roughly 3 weeks ago but it looks like you didn't follow them.

1.
You mention your computer names like Endeavour-x570 or Enterprise-Z790 which have no meaning for other volunteers since the names are not shown to anybody but you.
Hint: Refer to a computer via it's ID, like 10860670 or 10860743
That way you can create a link to the computer details page like:
https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/show_host_detail.php?hostid=10860743

2.
The computer behind the link reports "Virtualbox (7.1.2) installed, CPU does not have hardware virtualization support".
This is obviously wrong but since it depends on the local settings you must check a couple of things to make it work.
- ensure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS (VT-x for Intel, SVM for AMD)
- If you don't need Hyper-V, disable it completely as it conflicts with VirtualBox
=> run "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off"
- Disable "Windows Security -> Device Security -> Core isolation -> Memory Integrity" as it also conflicts with VirtualBox

Reboot

3.
Start BOINC and contact the Project.
Then verify that the computer details page reports "CPU has hardware virtualization support and it is enabled".
As long as this is NOT shown that computer will NOT get any Vbox tasks.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Side note, I have followed the instructions three weeks ago adn I got it all working.
What happened this time was that the core isolation was accidently enabled.

Thank you agian for taking the time to write your respose.

It's all working now.

Update: I thought it was working now it just says this computer has reached its daily quota has been reached of 1 task for today. It's been saying this fora few days now.

I reinstalled windows 11 24H2 and all I installed was BOINC with VB to jsut run LHC@home. It ran for a few seconds then all of a sudden it says computional error.
I don't know what logs to look at. The event viewer does not tell me anything.

So its a AMD system jsut to run BOINC. Its a Gigabyite Elite Wifi X570 with a AMD Ryzen 5700G and 64 MB DDR 4 RAM.
SMT is anabled for VMware support. Memory iso is disabled in windows. No Hyberviser support is enabled. No virtral machine platform is enable or installed in windows.

I don't know where to look for logs for this project. All this LHC@home project has done was frusterate me. This is the most challanging project I have ran into and I don't know why it has to be so complicated.
Being visually impaired really makes it hard to navigate this fourm and project. I am really trying to get this to work but I keep coming into one error for another.

From the stderr.txt of Your aborted tasks (for example https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=415416714

VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot register the hard disk 'C:\Program Files\BOINC\data\projects\lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome\CMS_2024_04_29_prod.vdi' {461abfaf-39ef-4b91-89ba-53cae0787c5e} because a hard disk 'H:\BOINC\Scientific Data\projects\lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome\CMS_2024_04_29_prod.vdi' with UUID {461abfaf-39ef-4b91-89ba-53cae0787c5e} already exists
[...] Could not create VM


I don't use Windows, I stop here.

My advice:
Delete the project LHC@home
Remove with VBox Manager -> Tools -> Media: all Boinc related Names
Add the project LHC@home again.
