Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion

Windows Technical Preview, would they be able to upgrade to the final, RTM version of Windows 10 when that becomes available? " Microsoft's Gabe Aul responded Yes, that is our intent.

10 is the host. Vbox has been running fine in it for weeks. Since yesterday's update vbox won't start( the vm is debian but that's irrelevant). There's a msg in eventvwr but not had time to investigate more than running as admin or trying compat mode which didn't help.

Avast seems to have been uninstalled as well
