      Use UTM VM in your mac book.
      That's the solution.
      Mac architecture (hardware) is M1 & M2 chip. Oracle VM is 64-bits architecture.
      UTM is safe.

    I been running Virtualbox on my Mac for about a year now. Recently, I started getting an error message when starting my machine:
    A differencing image of snapshot {9ce46765-ad14-4f8e-b994-72cdc094d019} could not be found. Could not find an open hard disk with UUID {58e5f9bc-8752-4b4c-aa05-e01a4d472d71}. How can I fix this?
    Also, I tried to create a new machine, and when starting it I get a Shell prompt suddenly. I've never got this before, how do I bypass it and what do I need to enter? ( I would prefer bypassing it).
