Minimum specs for both instances

I've been having trouble with whonix workstation freezing and becoming unresponsive to the point i have to hard reset my laptop.

I have a XPS 15 I bought last year with an i5 8th generation and 8GB of RAM on a solid state drive and onboard GPU.

After much frustration I reinstalled whonix completely. My laptop OS is Manjaro Linux.

I've tried setting the Gateway to 192MB RAM as a GUI seems pointless for my use and the cores to 2 and video memory to 16MB.

The workstation is set to 4096MB RAM with 3 cores and 128MB video memory.

I can't seem find a proper setting that doesn't cause hard lockups. And as I mentioned this is fresh out of the box setup with nothing changed.

Any suggestions for settings based on my hardware?

Edit: Upgrading to 6.1.10 solves the crashing and freezing issues so it seems that was Virtualbox's bad, although the screen resolution but still persist.

Now the browser in the workstation will no longer launch after updating which is a whonix issue. Anyone else?

Edit 2: Run update-torbrowser the pick the latest version
