VirtualBox, Vagrant & Laravel Homestead "vagrant up" error

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!:)
