Please zip and attach logs locally. I will not sign up with an adware site in order to download your logs.

However, I will guess that your .vbox file was corrupted. Look in the VM folder ("<user>\VirtualBox VMs\<vmname>"), disable the Windows feature which hides filename extensions for known file types, and see if there's a file in the folder called <vmname>.vbox-tmp. If there is, then delete any .vbox file which exists, and rename the ".vbox-tmp" file to ".vbox". If there's no ".vbox-tmp" then rename the ".vbox-prev" file instead.
