Physical machine is 64bit Win10Pro Version 1709
I had two VMs working perfectly fine running version VB 5.2.6. Tonight I tried to update to version 5.2.8.
After installing the two programs referenced above, I rebooted the PC and I tried to start one of my VMs (the virtual machine 'VM10_true_Clone') and I got the following message:
When I closed the error message, another pop-up showed the following:RTR3InitEx failed with rc--1912 (rc=-1912)
virtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox.
Where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime What: 4
VERR_VM_DRIVER-VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912)
The message above directs me to "D:\VirtualMachine\VM10_true_Clone\Logs\VBoxHardening.log" where I see a log containing 3110 lines.Failed to open a session for the virtual machine VM10_true_Clone.
The virtual machine 'VM10_true_Clone' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'D:\VirtualMachine\VM10_true_Clone\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap

My problem is similar to the one at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=87037 but unlike him, I don't want to lose data files that have been previously downloaded and saved in folders on both of my VMs. One of the remedies I saw says to uninstall the VM and then reinstall it. Is there an alternate solution? If it is necessary for me to uninstall anything, please tell me exactly which files/folders need to be uninstalled while preserving personal data files that are stored in the VMs.
Please also tell me whether you need any other logs from me.
As of now, I have not rerun any VMs nor have I tried to reinstall or repair the VMs.
Thank you,
DW
