In order to work this out, answering this request:
socratis wrote:But to be 100% sure, right-click on the VM. "Show in <whatever>". ZIP that .vbox file and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
would be a good place to start.

It is also worth remembering that this is a user to user forum. Any advice or help that you get here is given voluntarily and starting arguments or voice raising usually means people get ignored.

I don't know which file I need to attach. If you are willing to help me, I can provide you my teamviewer. That VM is hidden away by specialist. So if I want to turn it on, I need to write in search bar "run" then "monitor" then VirtualBox opens and there is win10, I press start and then entering password.

Which part you don't understand exactly? Look, I understand you may be under stress. But this is not a chat, this is not telephone support. You got to take your time to read the replies. TWICE. Go for a smoke or a walk if it helps you. But this is the 3rd time that these instructions are posted!!!

PS. The <whatever> is because I don't know your host. If it's Windows, then it's going to be "Show in Explorer". If it's OSX it's going to be "Show in Finder". If it's Linux, you better know...

While we are at it, the VBox.log file might help us out too. In VirtualBox, select the guest in question, use Machine -> Show Log... and save the first VBox.log file.
