In the end I was able to solve it by changing the network adapter settings in the windows control panel.
There was a unchecked option named VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Network Driver.
After checking the checkbox and hitting OK, the (vagrant) VirtualBox started again.

After a recent Windows Update, the Host Only adapters no longer appeared in Network and Sharing Center's Adapter Settings, nor did they appear in VirtualBox Preferences > Network > Host-Only Adapters. Upgrading to 5.0.12 and a full reinstall did not help. As mentioned by other commenters, going to Properties on the Host-Only Adapter in Adapter Settings, checking the box for VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver and clicking OK fixed the problem. Thanks for the help! Sorry I do not have details on the particular old version of VirtualBox or the Windows Update(s) that was/were applied because the machine is not mine.
Thanks to bellbush and Elaborate Ruse.
I had encountered the same problem for genymotion. I do recall that this happened after a Windows 10 update but it is working now after checking VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Network Driver.

Just signed up to say thanks for this info. Wish I'd have found this 4 hours ago!
I have found this issue some times and the fix is quite straighforward in those scenarios.
The root cause seems to be the Host-only adapter uses NDIS5 in VirtualBox 4.x and NDIS6 in VirtualBox 5.x
This issue happens when the VirtualBox is being upgraded from 4.x to 5.x. The host-only adapter pointed by the tool after the upgrade is the same as before.
There are diferent alternative workarrounds.
1- Export machines, unistall, wipe out the temporal files, reinstall, import the machines.
This solution is time consuming and doesnt scale well.
2- The one that I use is.
1- After upgrading to 5.x
2- File > Preferences > Net
3- Select host - only network
4- Create a New one (it shall appear with a #2 at the end of the name).
5- Select your VM, Configuration > net
6- Select the new "Virtual Host Adapter #2"

In my case I didn't have a "NDIS..." in the connection "Items List"...
So I had to manually install it.
I did the follwing from the "VirtualBox Host-Only Network Properties":
1-Install.. button
2-Choose "Service" then Add...
3-Have Disk... the choose the file VBoxNetLwf.inf from "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netlwf\VBoxNetLwf.inf"
After installing the service "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" my Oracle Linux Virtual Machine started fine.
I am using Windows 10 and VirtualBox 5.014
Cheers
Thanks Bellbush, this helped with quick resolution

It is possible, If I remember right, that one can install Virtualbox without the Bridged Networking driver. Try running your install again, run it by right-click-Run-As-Administrator, & pay careful attention to what features are unchecked.
