I tried to get a Windows 8.1 system running inside VirtualBox 7.0.12,
but it fails as soon as I install the Guest Additions
.
All Windows updates have been installed. When installing the Guest Additions, there are 4 errors about Windows preventing the installation of unsigned drivers.
After rebooting, Windows sees something is broken and will do an automatic repair, which yields no results. Rebooting does not help, the system is broken beyond repair :(
