Note: I'm finding that the VMMR0/CoreIntegrity problem appears to be fixed in VirtualBox 6.1.32.
I can now start Virtual Box VMs again with Core Integrity on. :) unlike 6.1.28 and 6.1.30

I am still on VB 6.1.30. I have set the Update settings to check once a day for a new stable version. Every morning I get the message that a new version 6.1.32 is available. Today I thought I should look here in the forum and I noticed that 6.1.34 is available since about a week.
This means there is a minor bug in the update check: it does not report the latest version.

I have skipped 6.1.32 because of too many bug reports. 6.1.34 looks better, so I want to give it a try.

It looks like 6.1.34 was not registered on the download server (or source control system) with the correct release date, so the server apparantly thinks that 6.1.32 is still the latest release (a release can be called anything, so the fact that the label contains digits and some of those digits are higher... doesn't seem to mean anything).

This is mostly meaningless to us, the software itself still works fine, it just has the odd minor side effect here and there.

That's (mostly) deliberate behavior: New VirtualBox updates get manually unlocked on the VirtualBox update server, to give early adopters a chance to test before the masses get trapped by "new and improved bugs". ;)
