Virtualbox Showing Only 32 Bit
Below is a posting from another user just recently. The answer to this problem was gibberish by the site moderator (Apple Host?). Since that link is locked because it is resolved(?) I am repeating the question here and looking for a valid answer. I am having the exact same problem and I would like a valid answer. I have Virtual box on a Intel Xenon server and Ubuntu 64 bit shows up. When I installed Virtual Box on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with a Intel Core i5-4300M CPU @2.60GHz), I only have the option for 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu) and other OS's. I sure would like to use the 64-bit OS's like I was on my desktop!

So I have this weird problem that I have been trying to fix for a couple of days now. When installing the latest version of VirtualBox, I can only choose 32 bit when creating a new Machine. After some googling, I found a solution where all I had to do was to Repair the program using the installation file. After repairing, the 64 bit versions shows up. However, after repairing, Virtualbox tells me to reboot my system in order to complete the reparation. But after rebooting the system, I'm back where I started, where only 32 bit is showing up which has left me in some sort of evil circle.
Also, if I try to run a 64 bit Machine after repairing, but before a reboot, I get the following pop-up error: NtCreateFile(DeviceVBoxDrvStub) failed: 0x000000e STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE (164 retries)(rc=-101).
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with a Intel Core i5-2540M CPU @2.60GHz. I have(atleast I think I have) disabled Hyper-V and the Intel Processor Identification Utility says the Intel Virtualization Technology and Intel VT-x is enabled(I dont have the BIOS password so I can not verify this in the BIOS itself).
Does anyone have any solution to my annoying problem?
Thanks in advanceI know this looks like same issue that's been reported numerous times over the years, but I think this one is different.
I've tried on 5 different 64-bit machines and made sure that on each of them both VT-x/VT-d are enabled and Hyper-V is not installed. Yet on three of the machines I am only allowed to select 32-bit guests and on the other two I can select 64-bit guests. What I've noticed is that the three machines that only offer 32-bit are running Windows 10 version 1709 and the two that offer 64-bit are running Windows 10 version 1703.
Thanks,

Bluestacks could not start the engine mac big sur 2. I was able to install everything fine on my Mac, but when I was on Windows 10 VirtualBox was only showing and allowing me to install 32-bit versions of Linux. I figured out the fix - go into BiOS at startup and make sure the Intel Virtualization Tech is enabled. I had already checked HyperV was disabled in Windows Features. After enabling that BiOS setting I was able to successfully install.

Virtualbox Shows Only 32 Bit Ubuntu
I know that Microsoft is pushing the 1709 updated so more and more machines will be running it over time. Can anyone else repro this issue? Any other workarounds I should try?Thanks,
