VirtualBox is very slow in Windows 10
I had VirtualBox installed on Windows 8.1 and it was working correctly. I upgraded to Windows 10 and re-installed VirtualBox, but it's very slow.
System Info:
- CPU : Intel Core i5
- Graphic Card : Nvidia 740m
- 6 Gigabyte RAM
- 256 GB SSD Storage
Drivers are up to date. 3D Acceleration is enabled.
What's the problem?

By slow do you mean graphics are very delayed? I experienced the same issue in VMWare Player as well. I have yet to find a solution.

It seems you're on a laptop, so tweaking Windows power options may be a solution:
http://www.rawinfopages.com/tips/2015/05/speed-up-virtualbox-enormously-with-this-simple-tweak/
To quote:
So it turned out to be a simple problem, partly caused by selecting the wrong power plan. Make sure that the High power plan is selected when running virtual machines VirtualBox.
After some more experiments, I found that by raising the minimum processor speed when running on mains power raised the CPU speed. Setting it to 80% made the minimum speed 2GHz on mains power, which was fine for running the virtual machine.
To do this, go to Power Options in the Control Panel and next to the Power saver plan, click Change plan settings. On the next screen, click Change advanced power settings. Expand Processor power management, Minimum processor state, and set Plugged in to 80% or whatever value gives reasonable performance in the virtual machine.

Make sure that you have the VirtualBox Guest Additions installed, which ensures that the virtualized OS can work better with the hardware exposed through the host.

I had the same problem today -- found that the "Graphics Controller" (Display tab) had defaulted to VBoxSVGA. Clicking over all my VMs, it was the only one on that setting. So I changed it to VBoxVGA, and voila - no more lag! It was so bad, I'd see the display update in the VirtualBox Manager mini preview, so I'd click off the VM then click back and the display would update. Good as new now.

I currently had same issue with WIN8. GuestAdditions was installed, but WIN8 Image was really slow.
I solve it by remove GuestAdditions, restart the VM and reinstall GuestAdditions.
Seems there was GuestAdditions 4.x all the time in the Win8 VM, but got no notice to update the GuestAdditions. Now I have GuestAdditions 5.2 and VM runs fast and smooth.

I had the same problem today -- found that the "Graphics Controller" (Display tab) had defaulted to VBoxSVGA. Clicking over all my VMs, it was the only one on that setting. So I changed it to VBoxVGA, and voila - no more lag! It was so bad, I'd see the display update in the VirtualBox Manager mini preview, so I'd click off the VM then click back and the display would update. Good as new now.

I currently had same issue with WIN8. GuestAdditions was installed, but WIN8 Image was really slow.
I solve it by remove GuestAdditions, restart the VM and reinstall GuestAdditions.
Seems there was GuestAdditions 4.x all the time in the Win8 VM, but got no notice to update the GuestAdditions. Now I have GuestAdditions 5.2 and VM runs fast and smooth.

By slow do you mean graphics are very delayed? I experienced the same issue in VMWare Player as well. I have yet to find a solution.
