Cannot launch Win10 Guest on VBox 6.1.40 or later

Post by apo2 »

I have used VirtualBox 6.1.x for Mac on Intel Mac /macOS 12.6 Monterey and Windows 10 Pro Ver.22H2 Guest VM.
I have tried to update VirtualBox from 6.1.38 to 6.1.40/6.1.42, installation of VirtualBox has been successfully, but Guest VM was failed to launch with following messages;

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908)

What should I check and How can I fix the this probrem?

Thanks granada29. The following command has pretty nice worked on confused Monterey.

Code: Select all

sudo kmutil clear-staging
Windows 10 Guest VM now boots successfully with VirtualBox 6.1.42 for Mac.
