KB5000842 Windows 10 Insider Beta 19043.906 21H1 and RP 19042.906 20H2 Insider

Anyone else having issues getting VirtualBox to run on this release? (regardless of whether VM/Hypervisor parts are installed or not)
Pre-this release it was running perfectly fine. After the update, it wouldn't run (same VirtualBox version as before). I've removed it, re-installed it, and did so with a myriad of different settings in Hyper-V and VM as well as BIOS settings for hardware VM support. I even wiped and did a full clean install of this release. Seems it won't run without secure boot / UEFI enabled - that's the only difference between releases. My next step is to wipe and re-enable UEFI/Secure boot. Anyone have any possible suggestions or input before I start the wonderful and magical and oh-so-much-fun re-install process? *twitch* Please? *twitchtwitch*

My machine crashes and reboots after going into Sleep mode after installing this build.

that did not happen on both my 2004 and 21H1 machines with KB5000842 installed
waking up from sleep mode recovered w/out crashing

But I still think I'll wait for a link from @Brink.

MS will probably revise KB5000842 by end of March with a newer build and with official MS links (and after the whole March 2021 patch fiascos from KB5000802 to KB5001649 causing printing problems for some users)

Hi there
forget VBOX

possibly VMWare (the free VMplayer) might be better for running VM's as it often seem to have less problems
However I'm using a Linux Host with KVM/QEMU and have no problems with any of this selection of VM's including some W2Kxx servers.

Even running a WinXP VM with so little CPU usage I forgot it was even running !!!!



Here's that VM for "nostalgia" etc.



For Win10



CPU usage compared with XP !!!!

Why "forget VBOX"?

Seems to have a lot of problems for some people with new W10 releases -- however if it works for you then keep it.

I'm though not sure though I want to support stuff supplied by ORACLE these days -- even if it is "technically Free" - however that's an individuals choice of course.

Have there been any reports of printer issues with 19043.899?

Anyone having trouble with AMD display software on this build?

Not at all. I just got a new PC with ALL AMD Components, works perfect. What I dont like is Microsoft is incorporating Android into their builds, trying to control my phone, lol, I dont think so. I can NO longer install say Bluestacks Emulator.
