It worked after enabling the second network adapter from VM Settings.

Reverting VB back on VirtualBox-4.3.0-89960 helps to fix the problem with crash (on windows 8.1 in my case). VB 5.0.10 does not.

"I can confirm the problem is related to Windows host only. I just upgraded VB to 4.3.28 on a Linux box, and can run without trouble VM with both Windows and Linux."

"VirtualBox 4.14 has new "hardened" security on Windows, and it doesn't play nice with anything that hooks dll's into Windows, mainly 3rd-party antivirus packages, but also any other 3rd-party program that "intercepts" Windows dll calls."

Answer 4

Finally，I guess this problem is caused windows update, and it is a bug in windows update or virtualbox, so i install an older edition VB, VirtualBox-4.3.0-89960-Win , after that ,when start VB ,another problem comes up,'virtualbox cannot access the kernel driver' ,so I do like this:

1\Close VirtualBox Open regedit.exe from the Start Menu Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrv

Double click the name ImagePath

Change the value to \C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.sys ,

then Go to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\USB\filter Select VBoxUSBMon.inf and click the right mouse button. Then pick Install.

Go to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv Select VBoxDrv.inf and click the right mouse button. Then pick install.

After all these steps, it is fixed! Hope this can help others! –

Answer 5

Just try to install VirtualBox-4.3.0-89960-Win - it was a solution for me

Answer 6

The fix for me was to upgrade to V 5.2.2 of Virtualbox, phew. Last time this happened it took me 3 days to recover. It always happens after a Windows 10 upgrade. After the last time (over a year ago) I disabled the Windows Update service to avoid it happening again. However for some reason Windows switched the updates back on, all by itself - nice, thanks Microsoft.
