Fixed. Don't use ASRock's copy of the chipset drives. Download directly from AMD.

Disabling IOMMU didn't help.
My brother commissioned me to build this machine and he's not tech savvy. Virtualbox would be pointless. I want to be able to enable virtualization security features to help protect him. |

Try disabling IOMMU, I think it's needed only for pcie device passthrough and try using virtalbox if You need just a virtual machine.

ASRock says the only OS they support is Windows 10 for this board. They don't even do that though. I submitted a ticket weeks ago and they never responded. This is maddening b/c this is for a family member. I'm done with ASRock.

My son exactly this MB, but Ryzen 2400G. He virtalized a lot of OS, including macosx, BUT under Linux, w/ and w/o graphics card passthrough.
So from HW perspective it must work and issue is likely with Windows virtalization solution. |

I'll freely admit this kind of tinkering w/UEFI settings is new to me so thanks for your patience.
There seems to be multiple places you can change UMA Frame buffer Size. I changed the UMA Frame buffer Size in: Advanced\North Bridge Configuration to 2G and it looks like that changed it in: Advanced\AMD CBS\NBIO Common Options\GFX Configuration also. I tried installing Windows Sandbox again and it stills fails to boot/complete the install. Please advise. |

Thanks for hinting at a new direction to explore. Much appreciated. Increase the UMA frame buffer size from what? To what? It's set to auto by default..? I never had problems like this when I was using the APU on a B450M Pro4 so I have to say it kinda seems like it is a BIOS issue. I know the industry has been going through AMD growing pains for some time now...I get it. It would be nice if ASRock actually responded to requests for support though. |

You maybe have to configure/increase the UMA frame buffer size in the bios too.
And this is not an Asrock issue, it is a configuration problem with the Ryzen APU. Search for "ryzen 2200g virtualization" and you will see, that user with boards from other vendors have the same problem. |

Yes, it says SVM is on in UEFI. All the settings you mention are good. Virtualization shows on in Windows under Task Manager > Performance & all settings for Hyper-V show enable under systeminfo.exe.
No matter what I do I can't get anything that needs virtualization to install. |

Is SVM mode really on in the bios?
And i think you have to ensure that SMT is also enabled. You maybe also have to enable Advanced\North Bridge config\SR-IOV support and Advanced\AMD CBS\NBIO Commom Options\NB Config\IOMMU |
