VirtualBox processes start but no Window (Win8)

Post by pmatos »

Hi,

I ran a few windows 8 updates which shutdown Virtualbox 5.0.2 and rebooted. After the reboot I can't get VB to start. I have two processes running VirtualBox and VBoxSVC but can't do anything. Tried reinstalling but didn't help.

I really need my guest OS for working. Can somebody help with this? Is there even a way to understand what's going on?

Kind regards,

Paulo Matos
