VirtualBox Networking causing BSOD

Reported by: TurboJens Owned by:
Component: network Version: VirtualBox 5.1.14
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Windows

Description

After installation of VirtualBox I see very often BSOD with error message DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL caused by nwifi.sys. This actualle makes the computer more or less useless.

I have found out that installing VirtualBox without networking solves the problem (restored backup of computer to point without any virtualbox installed and retried. Also did it again and installed with networking and BSOD is back on first reboot).

Host Dell XPS13, Windows 10 Pro 64bit build 10586.839. It's not affected bu guest OS as the BSOD shows up just by installing VirtualBox so there is some driver issue in the host OS/VirtualBox

Update, tried clean install of VirtualBox version 5.1.18 without host-only networking and the error is the same, wich means the problem is in the VirtualBox briged networking component.

I'm experiencing the same issue.

Dell XPS 13 9360
Windows 10 Pro x64 build 14393.953
Killer Wireless 1535 WiFi adapter

Can trigger this pretty reliably just by clicking on the wireless icon in the taskbar. Virtualbox is not open and no VMs are running.

Happy to provide any other info / logs if it would help.

Is this a standard installation or do you have some special environment, for example, do you have the driver verifier enabled for some reason?

Duplicate of #16229. Also take a look at #16497. Your "Killer" adapter is killing your computer.
