VirtualBox 4.3.16 is destroying Windows explorer
Posted: 10. Oct 2014, 17:35
Hello,
first of all, I want to tell you, that this kind of problem sounds very unlikely unusual to associate with VirtualBox, so I reinstalled the entire operating system and reinstalled VirtualBox after that as the only program and was able to reproduce this problem.
When I installed VirtualBox on my Windows 7 notebook (which worked very well before) I noticed that the Windows explorer is crashing unusual often. My first idea was to reboot the device, when I noticed that the shut down button in the start menu was also useless - so I was forced to hard reboot the device. After that reboot I tried to uninstall VirtualBox because of its problems, but even the uninstaller is buggy.
So my only choice (well, I could have tried the system recovery, but want to make sure VirtualBox is deleded completely) was to reinstall Windows.
I'm not 100% sure whether the problem is on Windows oder VirtualBox side but this bug is only with the latest 4.3.16 version.
