Wont start - help!

Post by gingerneil »

Hi,
I have been using VB for a few weeks to run Home Assistant on a windows server 2012 r2 host. However, the VM is now failing to boot. Screenshots and logs attached - can anyone help please ?

The hardening log comes from 6.1.10, but the vbox.log comes from 6.1.8, so there's a discrepancy somewhere.

If you upgraded from 6.1.8 to 6.1.10, be sure that you upgraded the Extension Pack too.

The hardening log has an exit code 1. See Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues. A host 'sfc /scannow' on an admin command prompt might be called for, also look for 'web-safe-browsing' nanny software.

Thanks for the response. I removed VB totally, including the tools, and the reinstalled. Seems to have done the trick!
