Windows 10 Build 14942+ - VirtualBox fails to start

@Jacob Klein
Are you sure it's not the same report as the one from "soulraventnt"? I haven't seen a VBoxHardening.log, unless there is none created...

[Jacob Klein]

It's very likely the same problem. rseiler and I create threads with appropriate names, and details, to track each Insider build's specific issue, and I think he should start the new thread.

Well, the thing is that "soulraventnt" already created a thread (with a nice title if I may add). Stick to that one, because if "it's very likely the same problem", and you open a new thread, I'm going to have to delete it as duplicate, or merge it to the existing one.

[Jacob Klein]

Okay.

I would consider making the title:
Windows 10 Build 14971+ - VMs fails to start

And also, I am not yet fully convinced this is something Oracle can't fix. But we'll make sure that Microsoft gets informed as well.

Thanks,
Jacob

I am not yet fully convinced this is something Oracle can't fix.

On the other hand, I'm not fully convinced that they should rush and fix it. Fix what? An invalid certificate on one of the core DLLs of the system? Add an exception? On a Win10 test build? That's going to be fixed in the next test build?

Do you know how many real bugs need their attention? Long existing bugs? Focusing on Win10 latest test builds only means that someone else is left behind (== not good). Find the problem, fix it, build it, takes time. And have it backwards compatible as well? Living on the edge has some drawbacks...

[Jacob Klein]

We know, man. Please don't get us riled up. We are focusing very hard on: Identifying the issue for the community, informing the parties involved in fixing it, and tracking the issue for the community. We choose to live on the edge, we exhibit all the patience we can muster, and we understand the fixes take time.

[socratis]

I'm glad you know, man. No more explaining to do then. Let's focus on the issues and just the issues...

[Jacob Klein]

Thank you. Sorry - I didn't mean to sound so informal there. Peace.
