Thank you for thinking along and providing suggestions!

I have tried to start the VM's just after boot (what I did the whole time anyway) but this has no positive effect
Yesterday I used Windows Cleanup, CCleaner and even SpyBot to clean up my system. No spyware was found (I didn't expect it to anyway), but all temporary files were deleted.

Since then, the VM's start again!
Sometimes they hang at first boot, but after having a second go they do start correctly.
Beats me what triggered the non-booting issue, but hey at the moment (touch wood!) everything seems to be working again

Will keep this post updated if I figure out what cause the issues
