Virtualbox Has Been Nuked By Windows 10 V2004

 After updating to 2004 my Virtualbox can not create a VB. It errors out while trying to write the system.

2020-09-20 OK - I got VB working again - See Below

This could be good news in a way.

I have never wanted to take the time to try VMware Player. It works well and in some ways feels better than VB. I already have a love-hate relationship the the VM bar on the top.

Don't be intimidated by VMware . . .
- It may be easier to set up than VB in some ways
On some PCs when installing VB itself, it appears to be installing and then asks for reboot. Not sure what it has done but upon reboot and running installer again, the install will succeed.

After choosing "create new" this is the first screen . . .

Everything is intuitive - this screen might scare you but buck up . . .

The only thing different here is choosing NAT instead of Bridged

Installing VMware Tools is a session 
You may not need to bother with the installation VMware offers.
Just do this:
sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-desktop
Here is what worked for VB on one PC so far
