Why is my virtual ctrlX CORE booting / reacting so slowly?
The emulation of the virtual control is using the hardware acceleration "Intel® Virtualization Technology." Possible reasons why the virtual control is so slowly can be
- You have installed the virtual ctrlX CORE inside a virtual machines (e.g. VirtualBox), where this hardware acceleration is not working.
- Your processor is not supporting the "Intel® Virtualization Technology.".

What is the reason why I can't connect to my ctrlX CORE / COREvirtual control?
If you use a VPN connection at the same time, the access to the virtual/real control is blocked. You have to deactivate the VPN first and maybe even reboot the PC.
