Hi!
I'm register here xos I cant imagine does the whole world has the same problem with the virtualbox through almost all versions and there is no explanation or any really solution.

So, here is my problem, as usual from users all over the world.
After installing, no matter whcih version of VirtualBox and try to start ta VM no matter does I installed a Linux or Win machine, the error is almost the same:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7 32bit.

The virtual machine 'Win7 32bit' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\Servis.Servis-PC\VirtualBox VMs\Win7 32bit\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}


I'm searching for a usable solution on the internet for almost 3-4 weeks but nothing.
I tried tons of "solutions" and watched tons of YT videos (I should be rewarded by Oracle for that kind of wasting time) and also nothing.

Peoples maybe solve this error on a million way which is not normal.
Oracle never come out with an official solution, or I maybe missing that post.

So, what is the problem cos this happen?
How to solve this, but really, all we need a real solution for this. Not a "try" solution.

My OS I tried the last few weeks is Win7 32bit/x64 also on Win10 too.
Fresh installation and used too.
All they was and was not up to date.
Any combinations was tried.

Also changed different PC's, laptops but same thing happen.

What can I do to solve the problem?

I found a really good solution and that worker well when I switched to VMWare workstation player from the company of VMWare.
But I have to use also virtualbox cos of other projects which are in this VM.

Thanks.

Please zip the hardening log mentioned in the error, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

The hardening log shows errors on 'user32.dll', and an exit code of 1, on a Windows 7 host PC.

Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues specifically covers this issue.

Note that there might be other things contributing, but check the tutorial's solution first.
