Yesterday, I applied the latest MS Update for Windows 10 version 1909 (KB4549951) on all of my machines.
On several of them I have been crunching Theory for several weeks, without problems.
On one of these machines (BOINC version 7.14.2, VM version 6.1.2), today I noticed that the "VM Console" button was no longer present on the left side of the BOINC Manager (before yesterday, it has definitely been there).
On the other machines (partly with the same BOINC and VM versions), it is still there.

I shut down and restartet BOINC, no effect.
I restartet the Notebook, not effect.

Has anyone ever noticed such a strange thing?

What about the VMs, are they running after the update?

Are fresh tasks also affected?

Did you reinstall VirtualBox and Vbox Additions?

Did the update activate another hypervisor?

Have this also on a HP i7 with Boinc 7.14.2 and Virtualbox 5.2.38.
We become for pro from Microsoft Version 2004 in the next time instead of 1909.

Without doing anything else from my side, the VM Console button is back now.

(to answer above questions: the VM was running after the update; the task with which I see the button back is a fresh task; I did not reinstall anything, but I intended to do so - which is no longer necessary though; no other hypervisor was activated after the update).

Within the past few days, I noticed several other cases, also on other machines, where the "VM Console" button was missing. I guess in 1 out of 10 tasks or so.
This has never before been the case, only since the latest Windows Update. Very strange.
