Running WSL and Oracle Virtual Box - Hypervisor issue
by Shanmeister from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FP9G)
Hi all,
This is my 1st thread, hope I am adding it to the right section :)
I recently started a new job and my primary OS at the moment is Windows 10 for work purposes. I am branching out to start doing a bit of DevOps and was recommended to try Windows Subsystem Linux for setting my light Linux distros and Docker for Windows to run with WSL 2. Unfortunately, I'm running Oracle Virtual Box as well with another Win 10 VM that is configured for work use and this is where my problem comes in.
Hypervisor is causing issues having me utilize both Virtual Box as well as Hyper-V at the same time. Running WSL 2 causes Virtual Box VM to slow heavily, Hypervisor disabled to combat this prevents WSL from running. I have tried to configure both to manage resources accordingly but they can't function together. I recently had the ram upgraded to compensate for the memory and cpu throttling usage which made the machine perform a bit better, but the core issue still remains.
My only workaround at the moment is to enable and disable Hypervisor and Hyper-V whenever I need to use one of the 2 but I have to reboot my machine every time I apply the change.
If anyone has any advice or a workaround for this issue it would be greatly appreciated thank you :) Please let me know if you need any additional system info ;)
