when I started up the Win 10 VM this time it froze on me immediately. Then when I got back to the Ubuntu mate desktop and started up Virtualbox again. Then I clicked on the Youtube video to get instructions about it and as the video was loading everything again frooze and I had to press and hold the laptop power button to restart. I then downloaded this tool to block Win 10 updates. I rebooted the VM and it went back to the Win 10 Guest Desktop. I tried un-installing a Windows update that installed yesterday: Security Update for Microsoft Windows KB5003173 Which was when I booted into Win 10 Pro VM and it frooze after a few minutes and I had to press and hold the laptop power button to reset.įlex Attachments Windows 10 (23.48 KiB) Downloaded 16 times Perhaps the Windows Update that I installed yesterday is the cause? So the issue may only affect Win 10 Pro guest. I have booted up just a Manjaro VM and it has been running fine for half a hour now without any freezing. Virtualbox has been working fine without freezing since I last did any updates/upgrades to the host. It is a few days since I last did an apt get update and apt get upgrade on my Ubuntu. But then Virtualbox continued to work fine for the rest of the day afterwards and I even booted a Manjaro VM and also had no freezing. The guest Windows 10 Pro updated yesterday and I had to reboot the VM to complete that Windows update. But I have now removed them and the freezing is still happening. What things did I change recently? Yesterday I added a share and USB definition to the VM settings.

Each time the whole screen and laptop freezes up and nothing works anymore so I have to press and hold the power button to do a hard reboot of the laptop. Just this morning my Virtualbox has started freezing on me.
