Hello!
I've recently updated Virtualbox after not using it for a while and I'm trying to create a Virtual Machine (Windows NT 4.0 Workstation). However, when I try to open the virtual machine (It's 100% correctly set up) I get the following error message:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows NT 4.0.

The virtual machine 'Windows NT 4.0' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\sheldon\VirtualBox VMs\Windows NT 4.0\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {5047460a-265d-4538-b23e-ddba5fb84976}



Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!

You should start by reading the tutorial Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues and following the guidance there.

Once you have, if it still doesn't work and you can't make sense of the VBoxHardening.log file then zip it and post it here for someone to take a look at.
