Unfortunately the VM is now refusing to start from a saved state. I get the following error:
I can set the VM back to the powered-off state using the "Discard saved state..." option, and it starts up with no problem. But if I then quit the VM and tell it to save the machine state, the VM won't then start from that saved state. If I power the VM off via the Windows menu it will restart from that state just fine.Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}
At the end of the day I suppose I can just about live with having to power off the VM every time I've finished with it, and powering it back on again next time, but it is time-consuming. I would much prefer to be able to save the machine state and start it up from that.
All my other VMs - Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 Home Premium 32-bit - start from the saved state without a murmur of complaint. It does look as if it's this particular VM that's somehow got borked. If all else fails I am prepared to build a new VM from scratch, but it's a long process working through the Windows 10 installation and I'd rather avoid it if there are other, easier potential solutions.
So far I have tried:
- Uninstalling VirtualBox using the uninstaller supplied on the installation disc image, and re-installing it from said disc image;
Re-installing the guest additions to the VM.
I'm running VirtualBox 7.0.10 r158379 on Monterey 12.6.8, with the 7.0.10 VB extensions pack installed, and the 7.0.10 guest additions installed on all VMs.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Here is the log from the VM the last time I started it up from powered off, at 16:33 today, saved it 3 minutes later, then tried to start it from the saved state 5 minutes after that:
