Warning: Using VirtualBox, WSL2 and Vagrant together causes BSOD on Windows 11

This is more of a note for other people in the same boat.

Apparently there are issues running VirtualBox, WSL2 and Vagrant together on Windows 11. I'm getting BSOD very consistently when I use Vagrant destroy and then Vagrant up from within WSL2. Note:

  • Unsure on the exact combination or point where it fails.
  • Haven't tried creating VMs with different settings.
  • Some articles say you can disable the Windows Hyper-V feature and VirtualBox will be ok, however WSL2 requires that feature to be on.
  • Need to test creating/deleting VMs from within Windows to see if it causes VirtualBox to crash the PC.

I see recently Windows 11 guest support was added but Windows 11 host is not officially supported. Some threads of issues people have been experiencing. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/798 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20536

Using:

Windows 11 Pro (Version 21H2 Build 22000.376)
VirtualBox Version 6.1.30 r148432 (Qt5.6.2)
WSL2 running Ubuntu 20.04
Vagrant 2.2.19 installed within WSL2
