[Solved] Linux VM no longer starts - E_FAIL (0x80004005) after Windows 10 update

Post by Sandra_85 »

Hi, I tried to start up my Ubuntu VM this morning and I got this error message:

The virtual machine 'Ubuntu' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\sandr\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.


Result Code:
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component:
MachineWrap
Interface:
IMachine {b2547866-a0a1-4391-8b86-6952d82efaa0}

This is the first time I have started it up since doing a Windows update yesterday, so I suspect the two are linked. Does anyone know how/if I can fix this?

I attach the hardening log.

I has this issue after the windows 10 update as well. I was able to fix it by downloading Virtual Box 5.2 and installing it over the top of my current installation (5.1).

Hope this helps you.
