What happened?

[We prepared a custom Windows 10 IoT installer ISO file. This is a normal bootable ISO with a lot extra files.
ISO file size is 41GB.

An empty blank disk guest VM configured for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 21H2 and set to boot above ISO that contains the standard Windows 10 installation media, just a lot extra files included outside the install.wim that comes with the ISO.

When running the standard Microsoft Setup.exe but starting the VM headless (the ISO must be prepared for unattended run upfront so that no user interaction is required - just boot the ISO), the installation works normally.
When attaching the GUI, the VM crashes immediately. dump file attached
Attached at this stage:

The same large ISO boots and installs correctly with VirtualBox 6.1.

VirtualBoxVM.exe.30560.dmp

VBox.log
VBoxHardening.log
VBoxUI.log
W10x64-KnS-Ref.ovf.xml

How can we reproduce this?

Boot very large ISO files in headless mode and attach the GUI.
