This morning I tried to run VB on my laptop like always because i use it on my university for homework and this type of stuff.
But i don't know why thos morning it just didn't run. I execute it and it keeps on the processes list but don't show anything even a error message. Nothing it just don't run.
The fact this that it worked perfectly this week until today.
I tried to unistall and install again several times and didn't work. I update all win10 drivers and graphic drivers. Hyper-V is enabled and also hardware virtualization.
Can anyone help me? I don't know what to do.
Thanks you so much in advance.

I'll take this to mean that the main Virtualbox window with the list of VMs does not open but shows in the Task Manager. If I have guessed wrong, you'll need to provide more information.
Based on my guess I'd suggest to unplug all extra USB devices and/or docking stations, and reboot, then try Virtualbox again. Please report what happens.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I unplugged al USB devices and now it works (i think the error was caused by the ps4 controller). <3<3

Great! Glad you're up and running. BTW, you should be able to pin down the exact device by repeating this procedure:
- Close the main Virtualbox window and all other Virtualbox windows.
- wait thirty seconds for the Virtualbox background service VboxSVC to close.
- Insert a USB device, and wait a few seconds for the OS to get the device started.
- Open the main Virtualbox window.
- If the window opens, repeat the steps with a different USB device.
Once you don't get the main window opening anymore, that device appears to be the problem device.
It may be possible to still use the device, if you insert the device after the Virtualbox window is open. Please let us know if this works.
