Situation:
On a windows 7 prof.-host, virtualbox 4.3.20 r96997 is installed, running two vms.
Last night at 3:11 a.m., windows auto-update decided to reboot.
Virtualbox does not seem to have shutdown smoothly the two running vms, one beeing ubuntu 14.04 server, one beeing Windows XP.
Now both VMs don't start again.
Do you have any clue, how I could save my settings and work on those two VMs.
What I've read so far does not seem to be very promising.
What I want to do is to copy the vdi-files and use them with different new VMs.
Now I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to make sure, VMs are shutdown smoothly before a windows 7 reboot
2. Is there a way to recover those VMs?
The error translated from german into english is:
The virtual Machine >>VM-Name<< could not open a new session.
The virtual machine >>VM-Name<< has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1(0x1). More details may be available in C:\Users\username\VirtualBox VMs\>>VM-Name<<\Logs\VBoxStartup.log.

I deinstalled KB3004394, but it doesn't seem to help yet:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=306551#p306551UPDATE: After a reboot of KB3004394 virtualbox started just like before! Thank you very much!!!
Before I do anything else I'll backup the vdi-files. Thank you in advance!
