VirtualBox: NS_ERROR_FAILURE on launch (windows guest, ubuntu host)

by |Published

I am running Windows guest on my Ubuntu host.
VirtualBox version 7.0.16 (I know this is an old version but my Ubuntu version is 24.04LTS and won’t run the latest version of VB. and I don’t want to deal with upgrading my whole system right now.)

I am getting the error message:

Something is not available or not working properly. (VERR_NOT_AVAILABLE).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

And the VM does not launch.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox twice and am still getting the error.

I have also tried making a new, fresh windows 10 VM and get the same error.
