Cause
The VBoxHardening.Log (\\Users\John Boehmer\VirtualBox VMs\NoteTEst\Logs) is flagging dll flags that are incorrectly signed.
supR3HardenedScreenImage/Imports: cache hit (VINF_SUCCESS) on \Device\HarddiskVolume3\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\Qt5CoreVBox.dll [lacks WinVerifyTrust]
If an attempt is made to create a virtual instance in VBox the machine fails to run with the following error.
Resolution
Uninstall all non-essential software applications from the host machine.
In this case, PCT was being installed on a brand new Hewlett Packard PC that had a variety of HP security software.
In some cases, other non-essential applications may need to be uninstalled as well.
Once the software was uninstalled PCT was reinstalled over the top of the existing installation.
Virtual machines created in VBox could then be started and PCT began to function normally.
