I don't understand the need to cross-post that which you wrote in another Net 
into here... where you will likely get the exact same responses.

NTVDM beyond Windows 7 32-bit will be guaranteed nothing but problems.

Microsoft published an update for Windows 10 32-bit which rendered NTVDM 
completely unreliable and unstable. Stuff may run for days, weeks, maybe even 
a few months then suddenly without warning it will all crap out. Problems 
which never happened on XP and 7.

You are far better to set up a real XP/7 computer or VM where most if not all
classic BBS stuff will run correctly.

This is friendly advice from an MS-DOS FTN developer.
