In the process of applying the tips, the gerber.vbox file was deleted from the Internet and gerber.vbox-prev was renamed to gerber.vbox unfortunately there was no backup, and to restore the original state, gerber.vbox was renamed back to gerber.vbox-prev and the original gerber The .vbox has been pulled from the trash. Subsequently, a backup was created from these files. Subsequent operations (updating virtualbox and its drivers to the latest versions, rebooting, opening as administrator) did not lead to any result, the same error crashes. What other ways are there to solve it?

Answer 1

It turned out that this Kaspersky broke. Many who have it sooner or later face this

Answer 2

It seems that there is no simple solution to the problem in the form of "press something somewhere to make it work".
The problem is known as the Hardening Error. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t...
The recommendations that I was able to quickly find boil down to:
1. Make sure that you do not have Windows components such as:

• Application Guard
  
• Credential Guard
  
• Device Guard
  
• <any other> Guard
  
• Containers
  
• Core Isolation
  
• Memory Integrity
  
• Virtualization Based Security
  
• Hyper-V
  
• Virtual Machine Platform
  
• Windows Hypervisor Platform
  
• Windows Sandbox
  
• Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2)
  If any of these are enabled, disable them.
  

2. If you have installed some antivirus other than Windows Defender - uninstall your antivirus.
3. If you disabled your antivirus in the previous step instead of uninstalling it, uninstall your antivirus.
