[vagrant-up] Windows shutdown issue: "VirtualBox Interface has active connections"

Discussion:

2016-10-14 15:58:57 UTC

Hi all. Whenever I end my Vagrant session, I do so by running *vagrant
destroy* and my box appears to be destroyed without issue. But when I
later try to shut down Windows (Win 10, x64) as usual, it hangs with the
message, "VirtualBox Interface has active connections." How can I resolve
this? I suspect I am missing a step before/after vagrant destroy?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

if you get that message again, could you share the output of

VBoxManage list vms

That will show if there is still a VirtualBox vm running.

THanks for the reply. Unfortunately testing this will have to wait a few
days/weeks, as something has come up. I'll report back here when I do
though.

Thanks!

I have an update. I uninstalled Vagrant and VirtualBox and did a clean
install of both. I am not encountering this issue anymore. The previous
error was most likely caused by the user not suspending or halting the box
(or previous boxes) before shut down. So we can consider this resolved for
now. Thanks for your help. In the least, it showed me how to use the
command line in VirtualBox.

Hello

Can you send a new message and explain how your machine is setup?

This is a different issue from a different person from 2016, 2 years ago.

Thanks
Alvaro
