I need your appreciable support to resolve the next issue:

Unable to insert the virtual optical disk D:\VirtualBoxSystem\VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.30.iso into the machine Ubuntu20.

Could not mount the media/drive 'D:\VirtualBoxSystem\VBoxGuestAdditions_6.1.30.iso' (VERR_PDM_MEDIA_LOCKED).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
Callee: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}

In general, the option for activating the GuessAdditions fails with all my VMs and diverse OS.
