VirtualBox and Nvidia drivers (Windows 10)

I use VirtualBox on Windows 10 to run Linux and older Windows in guest VMs.

One day, the VMs started crashing. At first I didn't see the dependency (it was some software and hardware changes before), but then I remembered that I had updated the driver for my NVidia GT710 graphics card. 

There is a recommendation to disable 3D acceleration in guests, but that didn't help. I temporarily replaced the GT710 with an AMD HD 7770. Now the VMs no longer crash.

So the Nvidia driver broke VirtualBox in Windows 10.
