OK, so something's changed with 6.0 No prob. Use VirtualManager 6.0 {{{ VirtualBox graphische Benutzeroberfläche Version 6.0.0 r127566 (Qt5.6.2) Copyright © 2018 Oracle Corporation and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. }}} to create a new shortcut. Said and done. Same error. Shortcut created puts the execution instruction as such: {{{ ""C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe"" --comment ""VM-Name"" --startvm ""{139ad888-e3c1-4220-8a36-751414cb3c47}"" }}} " defect closed GUI VirtualBox 6.0.0 fixed Windows Windows
