Changing the reported network speed from 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s in virt-io causes a bluescreen in Windows XP

Description
Host: Fedora Linux 38 x64 kernel 6.2.12 CPU: i7 6700HQ 4c/8th 2.60GHz RAM: 64GB DDR4 (2x32) GPU: NVIDIA GTX 950M 4GB GDDR5 SSD: Samsung EVO 1TB Sata III (OS) SSD: Samsung QVO 1TB Sata III (Data) SSD: Intel 660p NVME 1TB (Virtual Machines)
Guest: Windows XP Professional x86 (with Microsoft Premier Support Updates 'till July 2019)
Virtualbox version used: 7.0.97 r156983 It also affects a former version, namely 7.0.97 r156683.
I noticed that, when switching to virtio, the default reported connection speed reported was 1 Gbit/s despite the fact that the virtual adapter should support 10 Gbit/s. I went in the settings and changed the reported speed from 1 Gbit/s to 10 Gbit/s (it's possible to do it from the registry as well, eventually):
however it always ends up in a bluescreen:
