Knowing that there can be issues, I opened the BOINC manager, and quit it asking it to stop all tasks. Then went to reboot. Windows promptly informed me it couldn't because Vitrualbox was running and had open connections. Don't know if this is a BOINC issue or a VM issue. However if BOINC started the VM, BOINC should be able to kill the VM and apparently it isn't. ID: 89216 ·

VirtualBox service stays around for up to five minutes after the last connection to it has been closed. Connection is a virtual machine or some other program using it like VirtualBox Manager. If you are sure all science app VMs have been saved you can tell Windows to force quit the service. ID: 89238 ·

Five minutes is a very long time in computer terms, except for windoze to boot. Always knew force quit was an option. ID: 89246 ·
