Description

After installing Guest Additions on a fresh Windows 8.1 system with all current system patches installed, the system would not boot anymore. Windows 8.1 went into automatic repair mode but could not fix the problem.

During Guest Addition installation, there were 4 errors about non-signed drivers that Windows prevented to install:

Guest ist Windows 8.1 Pro build 9600. Host is Debian unstable running VirtualBox 7.0.12_Debian.
