Win8 system update causes virtualbox startup failure solution

A patch numbered KB3045999 released by Microsoft can cause the virtual machine software VirtualBox to fail to start properly. KB3045999 is an update released by Microsoft in April to fix a security vulnerability in Win7/Win8/Win8.1 and other systems.

The error message of VirtualBox is as shown below:

Reinstalling VirtualBox does not solve this problem and only uninstalls the KB3045999 update. If you are experiencing this problem, you can uninstall it in the Control Panel ——Programs——Programs and Features——View Installed Updates found in KB3045999.

To prevent the system from automatically installing the update again, first set the system to "Automatically download updates, but let me choose which updates to install", and then manually detect the updates, after the system detects the updates again. Right-click on the detected update and select "Hide Updates" to temporarily block it. Or turn off automatic updates first, wait for Oracle or Microsoft to solve this problem.
