Windows 10 Technical Preview & Virtualbox: Your PC needs a restart. Error Code: 0x0000000A

At time of writing, I tested this with the latest version of Virtualbox v4.3.22 and Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926.

Correct steps to failure

  • Set up the 32-bit virtual machine

Error Code: 0x0000000A

Parameters:

0x000000FF

0x00000003

The fix for it

This baffled me for some time because I thought VirtualBox was buggy or something. Oddly enough, telling Virtualbox to expect a 64-bit operating system will fix it.

I'm not sure if this is a bug within Windows 10 (because it worked fine in previous technical preview releases) or a bug with VirtualBox. Either way, hope it gets fixed before Windows 10 gets released!
