virtualbox.org

Having an issue with VBox on Windows 10. Prior to yesterday it was running fine.

Get up this morning and now it won't launch. Did all the usual things; uninstalled updates, turned off antivirus, threw salt over my left shoulder....

No VBox.log file in the directory to post but it's getting picked up in the Event Viewer:

If you are using Avira AV: Did you just turned it off or also tried to completely uninstall it?

Nope. Generic Mcafee. Turned it off and had the same results.

Thanks though....

Windows 10 was not a supported host for 5.0.2 - you have have been lucky that it ever worked. I suggest upgrading to 5.0.10.
