Is a bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/-/issues/1071

Try purge, delete all setting files and folders, like as ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Boxes (if you use flatpak) and reinstall.

If you have a CPU that supports virtualization (For the i7-12700 for example, you can check that here https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/134591/intel-core-i712700-processor-25m-cache-up-to-4-90-ghz/specifications.html, scroll all the way down to "Security & Reliability". Depending you your CPU model), you also need to ensure that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS

After that

egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

should print a number greater than 0. Despite what https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation is implying, this was only happening once it was changed in the BIOS. Before that, it was printing 0, even for a CPU that supports virtualization.
