Description

Windows 8.1 cannot start after re-installing the newest Guest Additions

It was running fine, but I re-installed the guest additions (because they were updated) and upon restarting the windows 8.1 client, found out it couldn't start, it tried "repair" but only "refresh" would solve it. It came up without my programs of course. I tried it again, re-installed the guest additions and the same thing happened again.

Version 7.0.12 r159484 (Qt5.15.12)
