linux – VirtualBox stuck in slow “turtle” mode on Windows 11 Home, How to restore native performance?

Host OS: Windows 11 Home edition (no Group Policy Editor available).

Guest OS: Linux Mint

Hardware: Victus laptop, Core i5-12450H, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1650, 512 GB NVMe

Virtualization is enabled from BIOS

My VM:

– Memory: 8 GB

– Processors: 8

– Video memory: 256 MB

– 3D acceleration: enabled

PAE/NX, Nested Paging: enabled

– Execution cap: 100%

– VirtualBox version: 7.2.4

– Guest Additions: installed

What I tried:

– Disabled WSL, Hyper-V, Windows Hypervisor Platform, Virtual Machine Platform (Turn Windows features on/off).

– Disabled Memory Integrity in Windows Security.

– Disabled Secure Boot in BIOS, I don’t have: (VT-x / SVM VBS / Device Guard / HVCI, Kernel DMA Protection) in BIOS settings .

– Ran (as admin):

Excluded VM folder from virus and threat protection

Rebooted multiple times.

I also tried disabling VBS / HVCI and the Windows hypervisor manually (run as Administrator):

reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard” /v EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity” /v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa” /v LsaCfgFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

After a full shutdown and reboot, the issue persists:

– systeminfo still reports “A hypervisor has been detected”

– VirtualizationBasedSecurityStatus remains 2

Question:

– How can I get rid of slow mode in virtual box

–  How can I remove or fully disable whatever is keeping Hyper-V/VBS partially active (status = 2) on Windows 11 Home so VirtualBox runs at native speed?

Thanks!
