20180	Windows 10 guest OS crashes with STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT exception	hottobar		"My '''Windows 10 20H2''' guest OS keeps crashing and rebooting after a few minutes of uptime, even when left at idle with no user activity.
The amount of uptime before crash varies, from a couple of minutes to maybe 30'.

This is an extract of the VBox.log file with the exception (full log attached):

The VM's guest OS was freshly installed from Microsoft's ISO. No third party AV software nor drivers installed.

My host setup:
* OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1
* Kernel: tested with 5.8.0-41-generic (Ubuntu) and 5.9.16-050916-generic (mainline)
* System: HP ProBook 650 G8
* CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz
* VirtualBox: tested with 6.1.16 (Ubuntu's repo) and 6.1.18 r142142 (Oracle's repo)

Conditions that do not cause a crash:
* running the VM in safe mode
* running the VM in a different host with Ubuntu 20.04.1, kernel 5.8, Virtualbox 6.1.18 r142142, CPU AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
* converting the VM's vdi file to qcow2 and running it with KVM

What have been tested without success (VM still crashes):
* running it with a different CPU profile, ""i7-6700K"" instead of ""host""
* uninstalling the VirtualBox Guest Additions
* changing the paravirtualization interface from ""Default"" to ""Legacy""
