OS: Windows 10 x64 (18363)
VirtualBox: 5.2.40 and 6.0.20
I had been using v6 for quite awhile without problems, just yesterday it began to freeze, as soon as I open VirtualBox it freezes within 20 seconds then I have to terminate the process.
Said freeze doesn't interfere with my headless linux VMs, they run properly and I can connect through PuTTY, however I can't make use of desktop versions, they freeze along VirtualBox.
Any ideas on how to tackle down this problem?

Re: VirtualBox Freezing Non-stop
Start the freezing guest from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

If both of these aren't possible, is "aborted" okay or the logs won't save that way?scottgus1 wrote:then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.
VirtualBox freezes completely (along guest) I can't do anything besides terminating the process from task manager in the host

FIXED
I apologize, it wasn't a VirtualBox related problem.
I ran a windows repair command, updated all my drivers and did a complete shutdown of my system (powered off the power supply for a couple minutes), then the problem was completely gone.
