I get the following message after starting VirtualBox in Applications:

I am running as an Admin user on a MacBook

I do not see any other logs associated with VirtualBox on my machine.
Does anyone have any ideas? Let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks!

Did it work before? Did you update your system or something?

You could try to reinstall VirtualBox.

No this has never worked for me. I have tried re-installing three times.

Can I manually start the VirtualBox server process?
