VirtualBox installation on Windows 8.1 with InstantGo issues

Reported by: JHumenik Owned by:

Description

When you install Oracle VirtualBox x64 (latest version) on a Surface Pro 3 that supports InstantGo, when the computer goes to sleep, most of the time when the computer awakes, the base Surface wireless device won't load on the host system. I've been able to reproduce the problem by doing a factory reset on my Surface Pro 3 and installing it. The problem manifests itself immediately after the VirtualBox installation. This is a major problem, because without the wireless driver, the computer can no longer connect to the Internet or access network resources on both the host system and guest OS.

hello. I just got a Surface Pro 3 too (i7/8gb/256gb). Do you know if this issue still exists with the latest version today 4.3.14, and latest patch levels from MSFT? I noticed the WiFi issue when I first got the Surface, but since an update late last week the WiFI hasn't droppped. I'm hoping vBox is finally stable with it too. Thanks.

I'm also experiencing connectivity issues mainly once every some hours the connection will drop and the WiFi adapter needs to be reset. It also seems to be responsible for those Surface 3 Pro sleep crashes :(.
Analyzing my kernel dumps with "WhoCrashedMe" and looking at these forums it seems that VirtualBox doesn't play nice with Surface Pro 3 power management features and wi-fi. Using latest version (4.3.28) with extension pack installed. I will try the VirtualBox 5.0 RC1 release to see if these issues are fixed.

P.S.: Attached images to display log crashes.
