VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine

Failing with below error code. This also happens for the previous versions of both minikube and virtualbox. Tried to disable device guard but still the same issue.

Unable to start VM: start: Unable to start the VM: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe startvm minikube --type headless failed:
VBoxManage.exe: error: The virtual machine 'minikube' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\Swati.minikube\machines\minikube\minikube\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'

Could you attach the output of the log file it mentioned? VBoxHardening.log

• What happens if you run minikube delete followed by minikube start?

[AGtechm]

Tried the delete followed by start. Same result. I attached the complete logs.

Thanks! This seems to be the important part of why VirtualBox is failing:

23d8.47c4: Error -104 in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn! (enmWhat=5)
23d8.47c4: Error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5

I found a few related pages from non-minikube users about this issue, which makes it sound like some other installed software may be interfering with VirtualBox's ability to function properly.

Looking at your log, I don't see any 3rd party software packages that are listed as "adversaries", but
based on these pages, my advice is to try the following:

1. Disable any real-time antivirus programs, such as Norton, Comodo, or Trusteer Endpoint Protection (Rapport)
2. Reinstall VirtualBox
3. Reboot
4. Try minikube delete and minikube start again.

Please let me know if this helps.

Dupe of #3845

OMG ！ Trusteer(IBM) is my problem.

Nothing that you recommend works. I do not have any antivirus and I still have the same problem.

I have intalled windows 8.1 and VirtualBox 6.1.28.

I have the same problem in windows 10 when I launched vagrant up.

Any help?
