VBoxVMService does not work with Windows 11 24H2

[jperchom]

The service starts but the configured virtual machines do not start.

No error messages are displayed. It simply does not work. In the previous version of Windows 11 VBoxVMService works normally.

Having a similar issue. Updated Windows 11 to 24H2 and cannot get VBoxVMService to start. After starting the service, it immediately stops again. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and no success. Nothing obvious in the log:

01/14/2025, 18:39:32 - C:\vms\VBoxVmService.ini
01/14/2025, 18:39:32 - C:\vms\VBoxVmService.log
01/14/2025, 18:39:32 - VBoxVmService started.

I've been having the same problem for 6+ months I think. When I try to reinstall it, I get a startup error and it just closes. When Windows did that update, it messed up everything virtual machine on my PC. I had to rebuild Home Assistant since I run it in vbox and then this app stopped working. I was able to get Vbox working again, but not this program for some reason.
