    I am running virtualbox on Linux. I want to create a Windows 11 virtual guest installation. I have a Windows 11 Retail license linked to my account. How can I activate the Windows 11 virtual guest? I don’t see the option when it is a virtual install like I do when installing on bare metal.

    :)

    Hi Voytek,

    To remove the guest account from your start screen, we suggest that you try the following steps:

    • Right-click Start menu, then select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Enable guest account first by typing net user guest /active:yes, then press
      Enter.
    • Disable guest account by typing net user guest /active:no, then press
      Enter.
    • Perform a
      clean boot in Windows.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.

  3. Windows 11 host virtualization VM sound problems.

    I'm sorry to hear that the suggested steps did not help with the stuttering audio issue in your virtual machine. Here are a few more troubleshooting steps you can try:

    Check the audio settings in the virtual machine: Make sure that the audio settings in your virtual machine are configured correctly. Check the audio output settings to make sure they match the settings of your virtual machine's guest operating system.

    Update the guest operating system: Make sure that the guest operating system in your virtual machine is up-to-date with the latest updates and patches.

    Disable visual effects: In the guest operating system, try disabling any visual effects or animations to reduce the load on the virtual machine's resources.

    Check for conflicts with other software: Make sure that there are no conflicts with other software running on your host machine or in the virtual machine that may be causing the issue.

    Try a different audio device: If possible, try using a different audio device in the virtual machine to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the issue is related to the audio device or the virtualization software.

    If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be worth considering a clean installation of the guest operating system in the virtual machine to rule out any software-related issues. If the issue persists even after a clean installation, it's possible that there may be a hardware-related issue with your host machine that is causing the problem.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
