Some Windows10 versions work fine with VirtualBox 5.0.x, while others have problems. If you experience failures with VMs not launching, e.g. for ATLAS or CMS on a Windows 10 host, please try to upgrade VirtualBox 5.1.x. The issue seem to affect only some builds of Windows 10, ref: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/1737 Thanks to Toby Broom for the link! |

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2 Yes you should have at least a 5.2.2 version I have a couple here with that version and they work fine but have updated to 5.2.12 over at the -dev site They update so often that I wait for when they stop *supporting* the version ......since it seems like they make them not work here when that happens. Nothing gets updated as much as Oracle VB  |
