Listed as a major update, primarily because it adds ARM compatibility, it breaks my fully legal Win11 VM. When I say Fully Legal I mean it uses TPM, Secure Boot, and has Microsoft's boot loader mitigations for security hardening. The changelog mentions TPM, so that *may* be the culprit, since the non-legal Win11 VM works just fine. AFAIK the boot loader mitigations are mainly added to the EFI partition, and booting into Win10 [it dual boots 10 & 11] works just fine. In fact I'm fairly upset at the moment, since just as soon as I updated all my VMs, compacting each afterwards, the new V/Box version came out, so I added the new Additions to each VM, compacted them again, and the last one I get to, Win11, doesn't work. Rather than do it the correct way, restoring a partition image backup, I got away with a cheat... I replaced the V/Box program folder from backup, along with the User files that had been updated, and everything seems to work OK, including the VMs with the new Additions installed.
