Virtualbox 4.3.22 is out

Users of Oracle Virtualbox who haven't already spotted it may like to know that version 4.3.22 is out.

It now includes Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit) in the list of Operating Systems and I believe it's had some other fixes to help with running Windows 10.

Not tried it much yet though.

If you are using this to run a TP Guest then the guest additions work so you can install the display adapter and get proper resolution. Note that if you define your VM as Windows 10 it defaults to tablet mode. You may want to change that if you use a mouse.

If you try to install it on TP running on real hardware though the install freezes. Windows will then not boot (even in safe mode) and you have to refresh or re-install the preview. I've done this twice now so I'm sticking with Hyper-V for the moment. The previous version installed OK for me.

Ah - now you mention it, I think installing the previous version of Oracle VB was what killed my Ten Preview machine (on real hardware). I had Bitlocker encryption running too - it was quite a pain to get in to recover data before re-installing.

Version 4.3.12 from here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_3 works well with the latest guest additions. There is a long discussion about hardening impacting later builds on their forums https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewto...63923&start=45
