What happened?

Can't SSH to my virtual machine anymore

How can we reproduce this?

Yesterday I was able to SSH to any of my virtual machine. Today I tried to SSH but connection was refused. I rebooted Windows host and the same issue with SSH connection to virtual machine.

Logs:
PROBLEM_VBox.log

Then I have checked and see Windows update was silently installed over night. I have uninstalled Windows update KB5120994 and rebooted Windows. Now after reboot I can SSH to virtual machine again.

Logs:
WORKS_FINE_VBox.log
