Please fix 64-bit dectection

Description

Running on a Retina MacBook Pro Windows 10 using BootCamp. Everything about this computer is 64 bit and virtualization is supported. Something in the 5.x branch of VirtualBox is broken. My 64-bit machines in 5.0.10 have now reverted to 32-bit and fail to boot.

Same hardware and virtual machines as in ticket # 14694 - in which that sort of worked also.

Actually it's very likely that Hyper-V is active on your Windows 10 box. Disable Hyper-V and VT-x will be most likely available again.

There's no way to do that - It's a macbook pro retina 2015 - there is no way to enter the bios to enable/disable that setting.

Ah, I misunderstood what you said. Yes, for some reason Hyper-V got reinstalled (thanks Microsoft!) and I removed that restarted and had to fiddle with the network card because VirtualBox said mine was wrong.

I've attached a working log file - not sure of the difference and why Virtualbox was really complaining and can't work around it.

There is no workaround :-) The VT-x extension is a restricted resource which cannot be used by different hypervisors in parallel.

Regarding the difference: Look for the 'HVP' CPUID bit. It was set for the host in the "non-working" log file and now it's clear.
