OS: Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon
VirtualBox: 6.1.38_Ubuntu r153438
Virtualisation is enabled in the BIOS.
If I add a new VM, with the default settings, then try to run it I just get a black screen. The application hasn't crashed but will not boot into the ISO.
Tried with a KDE Neon and Linux Mint ISOs.

Edit: I updated the link to the log.
Happy to supply any further details.
Thanks.

In Settings, System, Motherboard is Optical the first in the Boot Order?
Also, check in Storage if the ISO is loaded for the optical drive.

Re: VirtualBox: No VMs will boot - black screen
Thank you ever so much for lending a hand. My boot order was okay, but I did find the cause of the issue - Docker!
Seems VirtualBox will not boot any VMs if Docker is running in the background. I just quit Docker Desktop and it booted.
