Freeze during Windows 8.1 guest reboot after Windows Update

Guest type: Windows Host type: other

Description

Every time I do a reboot of my Windows 8.1 guest after a Windows Update the guest freezes in the "rebooting" screen. This is 100% reproduceable after a Windows Update, even if just Office or Visual Studio updates were installed. But it is NOT reproduceable if I do a standard reboot or shutdown. A Windows 7 SP1 guest also does NOT freeze during the reboot after a Windows Update.

VirtualBox 4.3.2 with Extension Pack, Guest Additions 4.3.2
Host: Windows 7 SP1 x64
Guest: Windows 8.1 x64
CPU: Core i5-2500K, all 4 cores assigned to guest
RAM 16 GB on host, 6 GB assigned to guest
VT-x/AMD-V and Nested Paging active
2 Screens configured for guest, but only 1 currently active in guest Windows
No 2D or 3D acceleration

With VirtualBox 4.3.8 I could reboot after two Windows updates without the freeze, but then the reboot after the Office 2013 SP1 installation (from standalone installer) caused the freeze again. I've attached a new log.

Have you enabled 2D/3D acceleration support for the virtual machine? In my case unchecking those boxes solved the problem.

comment:3 by cremor, 10 years ago

No, 2D or 3D acceleration were never enabled for this machine. Not during installation and also not afterwards.
