Virtual box

Question

[georgeof35]

Hi

I am using a virtual box in my windows 11 for running software packages in Linux environment. My virtual box shut down as every 5 minutes even if my program is still running in the background. And so i have to sit in front of the computer to make sure the virtual box doesn't go to sleep. Even though i have increased the sleep time of my laptop my virtual box goes to sleep after every 5 minutes. So how do I increase the sleep time of the virtual machine

Don't struggle with virtual machines. Use awindows Subsystem For Linux (WSL2) to habe a native Linux running within Windows. It's from Microsoft firectly, so there is way more support than for these VMs.
