My machine was experience virtualbox hardening issue and was only able to stay on the 4.3.12. We have a solution to get around it to run the latest version of Virtual Box. I hope this will help others to get around it. | |
1. Install the latest version of VirtualBox. | |
2. Once installed, open Register Editor | |
3. Nagivate to the following path HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\vboxdrv | |
4. Change Start value to the number 3 (delay start) | |
5. Reboot your HOST OS | |
6. Before you start your Virtual Box for the first time after your HOST OS reboot/startup, run the following command line as administrator | |
sc start vboxdrv | |
After that, your VirtualBox Guest OS will start up correctly. |
