VirtualBox may fail to start the Hortonworks Sandbox if virtualization is disabled in the BIOS, Hyper-V acceleration is enabled in Windows, or there is insufficient RAM. The recommended setup is to use the default Hortonworks Sandbox in VirtualBox with at least 8GB of RAM and virtualization enabled in the BIOS without Hyper-V acceleration.

How to do this varies depending on your motherboard manufacturer, but when you boot your PC you should see a key to press to get into your BIOS settings. Look for one about “virtualization technology.”
Disable Hyper-V acceleration in Windows.
Under Windows 10, you’ll see this option in the “Turn Windows Features On and Off” control panel.
Make sure you have enough RAM.
Hortonworks requires at least 8 GB of physical RAM on your PC – more is better.
Stick to the recommended setup.
