Is guest Windows updates failure due to Virtualbox version?
Posted: 5. Sep 2022, 17:15
I run as a guest Win 10 LTSC 2019 (1809) 64bit activated with my organization.
PROBLEM:
Since late July (i.e. more than a month ago), I have had repetedly failings in windows security updates (some other updates were ok). During the re-boot, and towards the end of the installation (97% or so), there is an interruption. The OS re-boots again to reverse back the guest OS, with the notice: impossible to complete the update(s).
In windows update settings I see in these updates error 0x800f0922, while in application Events I notice a warning, besides the mentioned error, in failing to update the token of the product key.
In settings Windows, however, info says that the system is activated, without any error or warning.
Initially I thought it was a problem of the virtual HD space (only 5GB left). I increased its size, but the problem persists.
QUESTION:
I tend not to update VirtualBox, if it works ok, as it seems it does. So I am still with version 6.1.26 on Win 10 Pro (64bit) host. Could a VB version not fully updated (with its Guest Additions) be the cause of such a problem?
Thank you.
