    Description

      After initial installation in Virtualbox (ie. after having set up the user account, hostname, etc.), ReactOS gets stuck when loading the desktop. The build version and mouse cursor are visible, but nothing else. The full desktop never loads.

      According to the forums, some other people have had success by installing ReactOS with I/O APIC disabled, but whichever way this option is set the desktop never properly loads for me.

      My system:
      Antergos Linux (ie. Arch) 64-bit, Intel i7-7700K @ 4.2GHz x 8, 16GB RAM
      VirtualBox 5.2.8 r120774
      ReactOS 0.4.9-dev BootCD, build 20180303-0.4.9-dev-117-g56fdb7a.GNU_4.7.2 (today's build)

      VM:
      Windows 2003 32-bit, 512MB RAM
      PIIX3 chipset
      I/O APIC disabled
      PAE/NX disabled
      VT-x/AMD-V enabled
      Nested paging enabled
      2D/3D acceleration disabled
      IDE controller PIIX4 with host I/O cache
      Hard disk IDE primary master, not SSD
      CD drive IDE secondary master, not LiveCD
      PulseAudio with ICH AC97 controller
      Network adapter set to PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)

      Debug log attached, from startup up until the point where the desktop stops loading.
