Windows 8: VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine

I reviewed the issues:

I would like highlight that I do not have installed any antitivus. I tried to run minikube in Windows 8.1 and VirtualBox 6.1.28. But I still have the problem:

• Failed to start virtualbox VM. Running "minikube delete" may fix it: creating
  host: create: creating: Unable to start the VM: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualB
  ox\VBoxManage.exe startvm minikube --type headless failed:

May you help me?

Hi @luisrojas17, thanks for reporting your issue with minikube!

What version of minikube are you using? We included a fix (#12811) in minikube v1.24.0 what fixes an unrelated issue when using VirtualBox 6.1.28 and newer, so if you're using an older version please update.

We have minikube users getting the exact same issue as you on Mac (#12881). There's a Mac specific issue created with VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20636 which I'm assuming is unrelated.

Hi @spowelljr, thanks for your answer.

The version that I have installed is:
minikube version: v1.24.0
commit: 76b94fb
