I am in trouble as I am unable to make a guest VM start from a scheduled task on a Windows host.
On page https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#autostart I read that "Starting with VirtualBox 4.2.0 it is possible to start VMs automatically during system boot on Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X for all users.": does it mean that on Windows hosts it is not possible?
If so, is the limitation documented anywhere?
If not, where can I locate the instructions to make a guest VM start when a Windows host starts?
I made several tests using either .bat and .vbs files with no success: when I run the command files interactively the guest VM starts with no problem, when I schedule them as scheduled tasks nothing happens.
Can anybody please help?
