Uh oh! In my updated 64-bit W10 Pro. PC host, I just updated my VB v7.1.4 to v7.1.6(VirtualBox-7.1.6-167084-Win.exe). During the upgrade, I noticed my monitor went black and my USB mouse froze a few times. Everything came back to normal after the upgrade was done. I also upgraded my Extension Pack (Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.6.vbox-extpack).

However, starting up my updated VB showed this right away (haven't started any guest VMs!):

"Failed to enumerate host USB devices.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might not be installed on the host computer.
Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x00004005)
Component:
HostWrap
Interface:
IHost {d5dcece0-b202-4416-a138-03502784cc07}"

Did anyone else get this too? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. I might need to downgrade back to v7.1.4. 🙁

There was another update today to 7.1.6

Hope this helps

FYI: A host reboot fixed for others and me. There are other issues too as shown in https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=113060 forum thread. QA is really bad these days. 🙁

Joe0307 Um, it still shows VirtualBox-7.1.6-167084-Win.exe which I already got on its first release day.

Sorry, I was referring to 7,1,6. I thought you had 7.1.4,

Thanks for the update. I'll have to check it out before upgrading.
