virtualbox.org

the below is the error appears when i first try to run a windows 10 VM in virtual box. When I try to add an ios file it aborted. I wonder if anyone can help me with it.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine win10.

The VM session was aborted.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: SessionMachine
Interface: ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}


and when I click show log this appears.
No log files found. Press the Refresh button to rescan the log folder /Users/wangyunhao/VirtualBox VMs/win10/Logs.

and I've tried several times and keep getting this result.

Are you using an M1 based Mac? If so, then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

[I too am guessing that the 'ios' of the thread title & original post could be a typo for 'iso'.]

Hmm, as I just confessed in another thread, the cited post by yours truly {from the thread "can't add startup disk on mac osx"} is just a tad longwinded, as happens quite often with me . It might be all-too-easy to miss the redirection in the TL;DR section at the top, and end up slogging through the Detailed section.

Also, one of the quickest — and since confirmed — workarounds I'd listed at the bottom of that post {i.e., "• Try attaching the ISO disc-image fi{l}e via the system's own Open dialog"} actually refers back up into all those details! There's a hopefully clearer description of it in the last sentence of this other post {from the related thread 'Virtualbox 6.1.18 crashes when adding Disk Image (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)'}.
