Best to try other things first, like the answer I upvoted. It was a last resort after trying everything I could think of, including multiple iterations of uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of VirtualBox. Please Note: I strongly discourage this option. I made sure to select 'keep personal files' and even though I keep important files on OneDrive, I backed up critical files to a thumb drive. This can be done by going to Settings > System > Recovery > Reset this PC. Undesirable Solution: Reset PC and Keep Personal Files Already disabled, then removed those adapters from device manager, but they came back after VirtualBox reinstallation, still broken.

The specified page protection was not valid.īut I am no longer using the host only adapter, only trying to get the bridged one working. One thing I noticed going to device manager, is that there are two 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter' both showing an error: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. I noticed that the VM does start if I change the adapter to NAT, but I prefer bridged since it gets its own IP and makes life easier to SSH, etc. Now back on 6.1.40 since that didn't help.

Searched online and tried many things, including reinstalling the previous version. VBoxManage.exe: error: Details: code E_FAIL (0x80004005), component ConsoleWrap, interface IConsole VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND) The error is similar on the GUI and commandline: VBoxManage.exe: error: Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). Not sure what triggered this, but it started after I upgraded from 6.1.38 to 6.1.40.
