Did you see the title of the ticket?
VirtualBox cannot start VMs on 32-bit x86 builds of the upcoming October 2018 Update of Windows => fixed in svn
That means the source code. It does not mention a build or a release that has the fix, therefore the fix in not public yet, in downloadable/executable format at least. Please read the whole ticket carefully. It ends with:
Should be fixed in SVN now. Will try get a build out before long, but it's a lot more work these days due to microsoft's current signing requirements.

Thanks for this information. It now works with 5.2.21-126141.
