Virtualbox shows only 32 bit

[ricklinux]

Since reinstalling and switching to sytemd-boot i have installed virtualbox again and it only shows 32bit for all entries. Not sure why?

Edit:

Perhaps unrelated, but I had to choose in my bios or UEFI (I am confused anyways which is what), to enable virtualization. It’s a new windows security feature to disable it.

[ricklinux]

Okay…i just realized. You are probably correct because i had updated the UEFI firmware just this morning. I’ll go check that now. Virtualization is probably not enabled by default and i forgot i did this.

Edit: That was it. Thanks for the reminder.

Great! By the way, this is something I recently found out when trying virtual box again. In the past, virtualization was not disabled on my laptop and 64bits wasn’t hidden in virtual box. That maybe a good thread for people that miss that…

[ricklinux]

Usually i always go through my UEFI settings when i update the UEFI Firmware as it sets everything to defaults so i have to reset them. I did that but i missed this one. It’s actually in the overclocking menu for cpu enhancements or what ever it’s called.

Who could have seen that coming.
