This is not an issue which could be caused by anything Whonix is doing. It’s an issue with the VirtualBox host software.

Try a non-Whonix VM

  1. “Forget” about Whonix ™ for a moment and imagine you had never heard of the platform. Test the VirtualBox host software first.
  2. Try a VM other than Whonix ™ such as for example Debian buster .
  3. If that does not solve, resolve as per Free Support Principle.

My previous answer Whonix Workstation terminated unexpectedly error (with VM 6.1.16 & 6.1.14) - #3 by Patrick meant to say: no VirtualBox host software support can be provided here. Whonix isn’t the creator of the VirtualBox host software. Whonix provides software for use with VirtualBox. But if VirtualBox isn’t functional, that is no up to Whonix.
