    Vista works fine on Virtualbox v6.1.50
    Version 7 was giving me a few issues (black screen was one of them on 32bit versions of vista).

    Update:
    It has been a few months since I tried the VMs. There shouldn't be any new updates though since January.

    Partially right. But on Virtualbox sha-wuc as sha-wuc don't make bsods. On VMware make. and I don't know why. Maybe vbs disturb it or I don't know what. Mean to VMware

    Updates make bsods, not sha-wuc

    sky will not fall if you did not install the very last Monthly Rollup
    check to see which previous one is working
