I can't open VirtualBox

Post by komika »

Hi, I'm using the program a lot because of learning, but one day the program just stopped working. I tried to reinstall, reboot and so on.. but nothing happened. When I try to open Virtualbox the program won't show up, nothing happens, but in the Task manager I see that Virtualbox Interface, Virtualbox Global Interface and Virtualbox Manager are running.
Thanks in advance

I've done a research and I found that if you have any USB device plugged in try to remove it and then run the program. So I had a game controller plugged in and when I removed that, the problem disappeared. Now I can manage my virtual machines and I'm able to run these machines so, if you reading this and you have the same problem try this.

Great that you found the solution! This does happen, yes, and we haven't figured out how to solve it yet except to remove the device when starting Virtualbox.
