I have VirtualBox installed on three different machines, all are Windows 7 64bit and ALL THREE are having this exact same issue as of today.
On my primary laptop I paused the VM I work from last night and came back today and tried to restore the session. I got back into the VM briefly before it aborted and I cannot get it to start up again at all. I'm getting the following error on it:
Code: Select all
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine XP Leapforce.
The virtual machine 'XP Leapforce' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\mrjones\VirtualBox VMs\XP Leapforce\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

I tried to start up a CentOS VM I have on the same machine, which had been completely shut down the last time I used it and get the same error when I try to start it up:
Code: Select all
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine CentOS 6.5x64.
The virtual machine 'CentOS 6.5x64' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\mrjones\VirtualBox VMs\CentOS 6.5x64\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

In the event this was an error already addressed, I updated VirtualBox to the current version available (VirtualBox-5.0.10-104061-Win.exe) on this machine yet the problem persists.
On one of my desktop in my home office I tried to restore a session on a VM to find the same error. I then tried to fire up another VM which was properly shut down and, again the same error:
Code: Select all

The VM session was aborted.

My backup desktop is also having the same error on the one VM I have on there.
All of these issues started
today. If it was happening on just one PC I wouldn't raise an eyebrow and would just reinstall it completely, but to have the same issue across three very different machines (the laptop is an i3-330um w/8GB RAM, the all-in-one desktop is an Athlon X-II 235 w/4GB RAM, and the backup desktop is a Pentium D-950 w/4GB RAM) and to see this being reported here leads me to believe that this is going to end up being an extremely widespread issue.
Part of me believes it has something to do with the date, 12/01/2015.
