can't kill VBoxSVC.exe

Post by Adit »

Whenever the virtual box crashes, I am able to kill VirtualBox.exe but can't kill VBoxSVC.exe. Only a system restart fixes the issue.
After some googling, I found that it was fixed in version 3.0.0 beta
I am using the version VirtualBox-3.1.8 and am still seeing the issue.
How can this issue be fixed?

VBoxSVC.exe normally terminates itself after a few seconds of idleness. If you find that is not the case, then I have a feeling that your problem will only be addressed if you can show that it affects a currently supported version (3.2.14, 4.0.16 or 4.1.8 - at the time of writing).
