Vagrant

I have used Windows to develop on for years. I have been through WAMP, XAMPP and EasyPHP, plus also going my own route to handle my web development. Last year I switched to Vagrant so that I could mimic the varying servers I work with from all my clients. Of course I was quickly plagued with the problem most Windows vagrant users face - extremely slow page loads.

A quick post for others that might experience this same problem. Last night Windows 10, with its forced updates, provided me with the big update we've all been waiting for. As I awake, ready to go to work on Drupal 8 upgrades, I tried to start my Vagrant and jump right in. Suddenly I was hit with an error about the connection being in use. Quickly I opened VirtualBox and upgraded that. Once that updated, along with the extension pack, the error still persisted. Trying to open the boxes right from VirtualBox gave me a few more details about the error, but not much more.
