If I remember correctly from the forum gurus, this may have something to do with over-aggressive 3rd-party antivirus or security software. See if you can uninstall same and try Virtualbox again. Sentinel One, Cylance Protect are the ones that come to mind right off, but anything non-Microsoft is suspect. If the security software is installed by the IT dept and you can't take them off, you'll have to convince your boss to get IT to let you run Virtualbox.
