Yes, VirtualBox does work on Windows 10 Creators Update, but there are some incompatible versions.

Current versions of VirtualBox work fine.

As of right now, current versions DO WORK on Windows 10 x64 Creators Update v1703, and they are:
- Oracle VirtualBox v5.1.18
- Oracle VirtualBox v5.0.36

My research and testing indicate that the *MINIMUM COMPATIBLE* versions that DO WORK on Windows 10 x64 Creators Update v1703, are:
- Oracle VirtualBox v5.1.14
- Oracle VirtualBox v5.0.32

Regards,
Jacob

Soon... I'll be able to more-easily test VirtualBox v5.1.x.
All 4 of my PCs are still currently processing long-running BOINC tasks that require v5.0.x for a bit longer. :)

Jacob, I've noticed lately that you're testing only the 5.0.x series with the latest Win10 insider builds. Your work is really appreciated, but you used to test the 5.1.x latest as well. Would you mind testing those too, if it's not that much of a burden?

You're in a unique position to do this and that information is really valuable to the developers, moderators, volunteers and users alike. Thanks for doing this!

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm actually in a tough situation right now - each of my 4 PCs is still working on 1 remaining RNA World VM that requires VirtualBox v5.0.x... and I deem it too risky for me to test v5.1.x because 1 bad move means 200+ days CPU time thrown away.

As soon as 1 of the 4 PCs completes their final task requiring v5.0.x (should be a matter of weeks I think), then I will be in the situation where I can readily test both v5.1.x and v5.0.x, with 0 risk. I promise to do that, then.

Thanks,
Jacob
