I try to set autostart virtual machine "Windows 10".

But get error when try to this command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows 10" --autostart-enabled on

Error:

VBoxManage: error: Adding machine 'Windows 10' to the autostart database failed with VERR_ACCESS_DENIED

VERR_ACCESS_DENIED

Permissions.... In Linux it's always permissions. Somebody chmod'd something.

What that something is will have to be helped along by a forum guru. Check https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09. ... tart-linux for folders and files that the autostart service may use.
