Hi! 
Can you be more specific?
What you mean by Linux Lite VM?
Are you running Linux Lite as a guest OS, or as a host OS?
Or, maybe both of them?
In the last case, which OS hangs? The host? The guest?
Again, be more specific: what OS did you update? The one you are running VirtualBox on (the Host)? Or the installation you made IN VirtualBox (the Guest)?
Keyboard shortcut
Yes, there is. Read the Manual. It's either SHIFT (BIOS) OR ESC (UEFI)
Specifically, read this:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/16042/ho...-boot-time
Snapshot
Again, it is very confusing... What snapshot of what OS?
Please, post more details, then we can figure out what is happening and mostly, where precisely.
What catastrophe?
Nothing is a real catastrophe, as long as the machine is OK and the storage media works as expected.
We'll find a fix!
Best regards!
