Looks like you moved the center pane adjustment between the VM list and the settings all the way to the left. Move the mouse to the far left of the main Virtualbox window, and it will turn into the pane-move cursor. Click and drag to the middle of the Virtualbox window, and the VM list will reappear.

While the VirtualBox Manager is not running, execute the following command in a Terminal window:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata global "GUI/SplitterSizes"

This advice only works on Windows and (most) Linux hosts. On macOS hosts, the vertical splitter is unreachable AFAIK (at least on the nowadays ubiquitous Retina displays).
