With Windows 10 and Oracle vbox I get a kernel panic whenever Garmin Express tries to write to my Garmin. I can read/write to my Garmin myself with no difficulties. I can read/write to a SD microchip OK, but if Garmin Express does a write Windows 10 does a kernel panic running under Oracle vbox. I don't get it, it's the only time this happens in my system.

Thanks for your reply!
