Windows Update error in Virtual Box

[Bournesup]

Prepraration to migration to Windows 11, Been using vbox (latest Release) to verify w11. However I get the following error. I took a screen shot. Is there a setting that I am missing .

Error 0x80004002 is E_NOINTERFACE, like your VM's virtual network interface is bad. Have you tried the same thing (VBox) on a clean ISO?

Interesting. Does it have anything to do with Hyper-V paravirtualization. The Clean Iso means no customizations?

 

[garlin]

VBox says it emulates an AMD PCNet or Intel Pro/1000 NIC, and you removed two sets of Intel NIC drivers from the image. But you don't have the "broken globe" icon on the taskbar, which indicates the built-in NCSI network test failed.

You can have three possibilities:

- This VBox platform is broken (or your host running VBox's virtual network switch), and a clean ISO will also fail.​

- There's nothing wrong with VBox, and you broke the install image.​

- This is some weird Windows Update error.​

Network drivers indicate that they are running correctly in the virtual environment. I do not run wifi. I double check vbox settings and it does show a network adapters are bridged. You are right, there is no internet connection in the vbox environment. Thank you for always pointing me in the right direction. It will give me something to do.

I will do a fresh install and see what happens.

I still have work to do. Correct, I removed one intel nic driver

For comparison, I tried your image under VMware instead of VirtualBox.

1. Using your original preset, WU fails to connect.


2. By keeping all drivers (with no other changes), WU does work for me.


So you have to keep some of the Intel NIC drivers, when running inside VBox.

Actually, Hyper-visor needs to be enabled under features. And no hyper-V removals
