VB 6.1.40 very slow to start

Post by Ken355 »

Running VB 6.1.40 on a Windows 10 host, with Linux Mint 20.2 as the guest OS.

After upgrading from VB 6.1.38 to 6.1.40, it's now taking a very long time to start the Linux Mint guest OS. The "Starting Virtual Machine" message appears, with the green arrow, and it then takes anywhere from three to six minutes before Mint is up and running. Is this normal? Once it's finally up and running, it seems to be okay, maybe a little slow. It didn't used to take this long. What can I check? Also, shutting down takes just as long.

Thanks.
