REM RDP to physical host will crash/abort just one of multiple VM's
REM https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=110659
REM I've tried the following:
REM * Disable audio on the RDP connection (remote audio set to "Do not play"). Issue/crash no longer occurs.
REM * Changed the VM audio control from "Intel HD Audio" to "ICH AC97". Issue/crash no longer occurs.
