Windows 10 and Windows Defender (MS anti-virus) uses the hardware virtualization to create a sandbox VM. If you don't disable that feature of Defender, VirtualBox can only do 32 bit guests. Even Hyper-V won't work properly. It can be disabled and I wished I'd kept my notes.
It doesn't sound like that's your issue since you have the option of 64bits.
