VM Wont start? Hard drive?

Post by ForFOAMsake »

Hi All,

I don't know what these two images mean with their error messages. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? The VM worked fine yesterday and Win 10 did some updates and now nothing works. I had this problem with another VM but that time is was Leap that updated within the vm and then shared and screen fit became broken.

So moral of the story is never ever update... just don't do it.

Help please?

First of all, you didn't have to include these humongous screenshots, just the error window would do just fine. Second, you have two error messages, both of them contain messages. One of them in bold. Did you do anything about it? I.e. what is the result of "sc.exe query vboxdrv" and where is the VBoxHardening.log?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

@ForFOAMsake: on Win10 hosts you should acquaint yourself with the "Snipping Tool" (type that into the start menu search), which makes it a breeze to create screenshots which only include the necessary bits. Even better it saves the images in png format, which preserves detail better than jpeg.
