Is this a known issue others experience as well? isther a know workaround/solution?

Did you uninstall and reinstall Virtualbox? Major host OS updates usually require such a un/reinstall.

[mucuser]

Hi,

indeed I just did and fortunately it helped. Using VB for 15 years now and this was the first time I had to re-install after an OS update.

Thanks!

[scottgus1]

Great! Glad you're up and running.

[Lesw]

The Uninstall/Reinstall worked for my Windows and Linux clients on an Intel iMac host.

[DoubleUGee]

Thanks for the hint.
The Uninstall/Reinstall worked for my MacBook Pro (15,2) host too.

[hamfred]

Yes, I can also confirm that a reinstallation works, Thanx! You can uninstall the previous version by calling the uninstall script that appears in the GUI of the (new) installer in the bottom right corner.
