This discussion/thread has inadvertently expanded to cover 5 different cases of "restoring saved state" issues. The reason was that there were/are multiple issues with this procedure in early 6.0.x versions, and the symptoms/causes were not clear cut from the beginning. This thread covers so far the following known issues:
- #18212: Windows 10 Host - Hardening error - VMs do not start
- #18263: Restoring 32bit Windows7 VM Saved State Fails
- #18265: Win7 in VB 6.0.0 fails on resume on 97%
- #18331: Restoring 32bit Windows XP VM Saved State Fails
- #18470: Ubuntu image fails to load - 'HGCM' (VERR_TOO_MUCH_DATA).
For up-to-date information, please check the "Known Issues" in the "Discuss the 6.0.0 release" post.
I have a Windows XP x86 Guest Machine here on a Windows 10 x64 Host, with latest december patches.
If i try to start an existing snapshot which was taken from running machine, it crashes (see attachment).
If i discard the running snapshot and start the machine with normal boot, the machine works.
If i take a new snapshot when running, i can't restore this new snapshot - same error as attached.
