I am trying to start an ubuntu VM on my Windows PC (Windows 10 enterprise, i7 8665).
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Ubuntu 20.04.

The virtual machine 'Ubuntu 20.04' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'D:\VirtualBox\Ubuntu 20.04\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}

You apparently have "Websense Endpoint" software on board, which might be interfering with Virtualbox. Other fixes may be necessary too. See Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues, especially posts 3 & 4.
