I was confident this would work, so I installed all windows updates and work apps. Only processes like interface run.Īfter reinstalling several times with no luck, decided for solution2 - Fresh Install Also, its the weekend right before I need this for class.ġ.- Install virtual box on pc - default install Update 2: The issue stopped occurring, for some reason, even when awaking computer after extended period of sleep. When I attempt to reproduce by manually sleeping the computer (closing the lip or pressing a button) and then waking it up within minutes, the problem doesn't manifest itself.

Waking my laptop up in the morning and starting VirtualBox, that's when this issue occurs. Update: This seems to happen only after the computer has been through an extended period of 'sleep'. Running the latest VirtualBox version 6.1.12.Īfter 30 years, it seems the Windows world still hasn't figured out how to do sleep/wake without a glitch. This started happening after I updated to the latest Windows 10 major update. VirtualBox folder to the Desktop doesn't change anything in my case. It seems to happen after the computer wakes up from sleep (though I have not been able to reproduce it it just happens sometimes).

The VirtualBox processes appear in the Task Manager but the main GUI isn't showing.
