Windows Not Shutting Down for 5.2

[apptaro]

When I use VBoxHeadlessTray 5.2, Windows 10 Home is not shutting down with the following message:

• VirtualBox Interface Has active connections

Then I check Task Manager, and VBoxSVC.exe process hanging around for 5 - 10 minutes. After the process ends, I can now shutdown Windows.

This issue does not happen when I use VirtualBox GUI and use the save state functionality.

Windows 10 Home + VirtualBox 5.2.6 + VBoxHeadlessTray 5.2.

This is the content of VBoxSVC.log when shutting down:

So it happens this issue occurs for 5.1, too, as described in the issue #22.

I'm in the same situation. No news in this front I guess...

I've not looked into this recently so can't really comment. If someone can figure out a fix I'm happy to accept a pull request for it.
