Windows 10 is displaying a VirtualBox Interface has active connections error message when shutting down after using Docker Quickstart Terminal on Virtual Box.
I tried to fix this by typing exit to close the terminal.
How can I smoothly close the terminal and get rid of the error message?
I came here because the title of this topic does not mention Docker. I had the same problem when using the application BlueStacks in Windows 10, without Docker. Windows did not shut down (or took a long time to do so) because ‘VirtualBox still has active connections’. I’d like to share my solution here, using BlueStacks as just an example. I solved this by creating a task in task manager that runs a script on shutdown. The script kills the VirtualBox process, which is perfectly safe. Creating such a task is described here: https://superuser.com/questions/165142/using-task-scheduler-to-run-a-task-before-shutdown The script for killing a process:
wmic process where "name='BstkSVC.exe'" deleteMaybe this helps anyone who came here and is not using a container. Thanks
