Description
I've been using 6.1.4 about 10 hours a day for 6 months on my Windows 10 Pro laptop, without *any* crashes (ok maybe once once but I'm not going to complain, awesome software). Recently I got a new laptop with Windows 10 Home and installed VirtualBox 6.1.14. VM crashed several times and behaved strangely, like Firefox in the VM would crash, or after being in "screensave" mode then login would crash and once re-logged in my apps would be gone I would have to restart them, that kind of stuff. I tried a few things, like upgrading Windows 10 to Pro, turning off audio etc. But the only that worked was to rollback to VirtualBox 6.1.4. I did not try 6.1.6, 8, 10 or 12, but clearly a bug got introduced in one of those or in 6.1.14.
BTW this happened in 2 new windows laptops not just one: one one HP laptop with i5 cpu, one LG laptop with i7 cpu, both new laptops with 16 GB ram.
