workstation aborts, get machine failure message

after opening the gateway, the workstation aborts. it says there is a ‘machine failure’ and then it doesn’t open, with message:

"Powering VM up…
VM Name: Whonix-
Workstation-XFCE

Failed to load unit ‘pgm’
(VERR_SSM_INTEGRITY-DECOM
PRESSION)

Result Code: E_FAIL

I uninstalled and reinstalled Whonix and Virtualbox, but same. thank you

Most likely unspecific to Whonix.

Can be investigated as per:

VERR_SSM_INTEGRITY-DECOMPRESSION
