I'm currently trying to switch back to Laravel Homestead after using Laragon for a while, after the release of Laravel 5.3. I've followed all of the steps on the guide in the docs, and watched several screencast tutorials but I get this error when running vagrant up:

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below. Command: ["startvm", "977385f5-4aa5-4def-be66-1741ac9b560b", "--type", "headless"]

Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: The virtual machine 'homestead-7' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code -1073741819 (0xc0000005). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\\VirtualBox VMs\homestead-7\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'

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

As it says in the error, here is my VBoxHardening.log

Also, I have tried reinstalling VirtualBox and that didn't fix it.

Any help really appreciated.

    Use this command and see the result: vagrant box list Commented Aug 30, 2016 at 12:16

    make sure your combination of vagrant/virtualbox is compatible Commented Aug 30, 2016 at 12:54
  • Hi, thanks for your comments. the output of vagrant box list is laravel/homestead (virtualbox, 0.5.0), and is there a way to find out which versions of Vagrant and VirtualBox are compatible? Commented Aug 30, 2016 at 15:50
  • you can look at github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md or indicate your version, others can tell you if they have issues with such combination Commented Aug 30, 2016 at 19:29

I know this post hasn't had any activity in months, but I just wanted to update it as I found out what was causing the problem a few months ago. It was actually MacType, a font smoother I was using. I uninstalled it, and it just worked, no problem at all.

Try to restart your laptop and just see it's gives you that error? You just follow this steps: 

1. Right click on "This PC" / "My Computer" on windows desktop 2. Select "Properties" 3. Go to "Advanced" tab 4. Click "Environment Variables..." at the bottom 5. Under System Variables click "New..." 6. Set "Variable name" to "VBOX_INSTALL_PATH" 7. Set "Variable value" to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\" 8. Select "OK" and close all the other settings windows

Hope this helps you!!:)

@Sean Whelan: Is this helps you?
Sadly not. The environment variable was already there. I tried deleting it and adding it again, but still getting the same error. :(
Ooops! Sorry, then i don't have any idea in win-10. But, If you are using MacOSX, then i definitely help you further.
@SeanWhelan Please give upvote if this steps works! Any other user may follow this if they get same issue!
Hi Hiren, unfortunately, your answer didn't work as it was MacType that was causing the issue, as stated above in the answer.

I had this issue after updating Windows 10 and my Nvidia (and Geforce Experience) drivers.

I did a "vagrant box update", but still got the error.

I updated my virtualbox and vagrant said it couldn't use this version of virtualbox.

Then I downloaded the latest vagrant (1.8.6) and it solved the problem.

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue and none of the answers on this question or others in Stack Overflow helped me. Problem appeared to go away if I uninstalled virtualbox and reinstall. But then if I reboot the host machine, the issue came back and had to repeat. Very frustrating.

I came across this post and it turns out that Trusteer Rapport was causing the issue. No idea why, but it seems the problem came after an update in June 2018. I uninstalled Trusteer Rapport, reinstalled virtualbox and everything is working!
