I've installed the genymotion+virtualbox package on Windows 7 64-bit and everything goes fine... But when I start Genymotion it presents me an error message Unable to load virtualbox.
VirtualBox is installed and I'm able to start it manually. I've tried to install the packages separately, updated virtualbox to 4.2.16 but nothing worked.
I've already read genymotion FAQ but it did not help.
I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.
I found out that oracle virtual box doesn't install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1
Solution:
Delete all previous virtual box adapters
Go to device manager and click "Action" > "Add legacy hardware"
Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp\VBoxNetAdp.inf)
Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)
Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Network" > "Host-only Network"
Click edit
Set IPv4 192.168.56.1 mask 255.255.255.0
Click DHCP Server tab and set server adr: 192.168.56.100 server Mask: 255.255.255.0 low address bound: 192.168.56.101 upper adress bound 192.168.56.254
Now click OK and start genymotion
Had the same problem, Uninstall Genymotion, install VirtualBox stand alone from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then install the Genymotion package without VirtualBox.
Try closing Android Studio/Eclipse if it's open. It worked for me.
In Linux at least, I had to restart VirtualBox, running this command on terminal:
/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox restart
Seems to be the same on Mac OS X.
What worked for me in Windows 7 is to remove the Host-only Network (in Oracle virtual box Preferences menu [CTRL+G] -> Network -> Host-only Networks). Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start. For the record; I'm using a Nexus S 2.3.7 virtual device.
Open Genymotion in Windows as an administrator. My Genymotion works only in this mode
FIXED SOLUTION
Run below command in terminal, It denotes where is your virtualbox install on MAC/Linux.
$ which vboxmanage
/usr/local/bin/VBoxManage
Genymotion search the virtualBox in /usr/bin/VBoxManage while it is located to /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage , you need to create the symlink to that location , Run in terminal to fix it.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage
I am using Intellij IDEA and same error happened to me, I found that the path to genymotion folder was not configured properly. Either open settings using File > Settings or press Ctrl + Alt + S then in IDE Settings check if the path to the genymotion folder is correct or not.
Since Android Studio are almost similar to Intellij IDEA so you can apply the same steps above to Android Studio as well.
Actually it seems like Genymotion has an issue with the newer versions of Virtual box, I had the same issue on my Mac but when I downgraded to 4.3.30 it worked like a charm.
Verify that GenyMotion is in your PATH environment variable. I noticed mine was not auto populated, so once I entered it, it was fine.
For Windows there are 2 installers. Did you use the bundle containing VirtualBox installer?
It is call Windows 32/64 bits (with VirtualBox).
Don't ask what this has to do with that , but by right clicking the genymotion application file and changing to compatibility to Vista solved the problem!
I also experienced this when I upgraded operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Un-installing Virtualbox and re-installing worked for me.
Close Android Studio (if Android Studio is running)
Run Genymotion as administrator
that's all! simple.
try launching it via android-studio/eclipse plugin. Thats how I had similar issue when launching it from ubuntu.

I've Windows 10 Pro system, and use Hyper-V on that system. Due to the needs of device redirection doesn't works well with Hyper-V, I've installed VMWare Workstation 14.
I have to disable Hyper-V to make VMWare Workstation work, at beginning. It worked until last weekend , seems because of the QFE update. I just verified, it was not QFE but Feature update to Windows 10, version 1803 that triggered the problem with VMWare Workstation again.
After Windows update completed (after reboot), I tried to start a VM in VMWare. I get the error dialog complaining about Device/Credential Guard.
Following the instruction in this link: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2146361, and after the reboot, I get another complaint about incompatibility with Hyper-V.
After reset the Hyper-V selection in Windows Feature or confirm that HyperV is not already removed, and reboot, the first error came back.
It gets in a loop of error complaining about Device Guard and complaining about Hyper-V for VMWare.
Ok, thanks to the answer from communities of VMWare: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/588526
The issue is now gone, by applying the following change:
Disable credential guard by using readiness tool from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53337, with this command: DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.2.ps1 -disable
Disable Hyper-V by using PowerShell command: Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V
Reboot and accept to boot without CG/DG.
Although I don't like that VMWare cannot work together with device guard from system, I get my VM working for the moment.
1- run cmd as admin
2- run : bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
3- reboot
let me knew if it works please
good luck
here are the few steps for you to solve this issue:
Disable the HvHost service (and any other services with prefix Hyper-V if needed) from windows TaskManager(Ctrl+Alt+Del)
use the tool from the official website
Uncompress the downloaded zip file to your own directory, take C:\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.5 here for instance.
Run Windows PowerShell as admin, type the following two commands:
cd C:\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.5
.\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.5.ps1 -Disable
Reboot

says "I think it's a bug that this cannot be disabled via UI but fortunately it's possible through the registry by setting the following key to 0:"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard\Scenarios\HypervisorEnforcedCodeIntegrity\Enabled
This worked for me as well [Windows 10 Pro Version 1803(OS Build 17134.112, VMWare Workstation 14 Pro Version 14.1.2]
I am a new to Docker. After the installation of Docker Toolbox (OS: Windows 10) I run Docker Quickstart Terminal and in the console I see this:
Running pre-create checks...
Error wirh pre-create check: "Hyper-V is installed. VirtualBox won't boot a 64bits VM when Hyper-V is activated. It it's installed but deactivated, you can use --virtualbox-no-vtx-check to try anyways"
Look like something went wrong in step 'Checking if machine default exists'...
Press any key to continue...
What did I do wrong? All checking of system and install steps are taken from here.
Thank you very much for your help!
Hyper-V and VirtualBox are conflicting each other.
You can either uninstall Hyper-V or run
docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-no-vtx-check test
Source
Docker supports Hyper-V as the driver
You need to perform the following steps:
Create a virtual switch, refer to this article on how to do that
Create a docker machine using that network switch and hyper-V driver.
docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "name of the virtual switch created above" default
I got the same error when I installed Docker Toolbox on my Windows 10 machine.
Solution:
Install Docker Community Edition (not Docker Toolbox)
Enable Hyper-V
Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> Programs (left panel) -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Check the Hyper-V box
As of 2017's Win 10, if you don't have Hyper-V option, then your Windows OS is not Enterprise Edition. Also, Docker seems to work a lot better on Intel processors (not AMD).
Add C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin to Path in Environmental Variables.
Open Git Bash and type docker-compose up and now that command should work.
If you don't have GitBash, please download it.
I was having the same issue, and this blog post solved it. The author runs you through the steps of adding the --virtualbox-no-vtx-check flag to the docker shell script.
Virtualbox and Hyper-V don't play well together. I am NOT the author.
I set the Hyper-V off using windows feature on off and it worked for me.
See if when you run:
docker-machine create -d hyperv --hyperv-virtual-switch "Virtual Switch" default
you get Error with: pre-create check: "Hyper-V PowerShell Module is not available"
If so just enable in Docker(icon on your desktop)->settings->expose daemon on TCP ...
You need to disable Hypervisor to check new application that use VT-x before the virtual machine launch:
Open the command prompt as Administrator
Run bcdedit to check hypervisor status:
Check hypervisor launch type.
If is set to auto then disable it:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Reboot host machine and launch VirtualBox again
After performing above steps I opened again Docker Quickstart terminal and it is working fine.
I pressed the Windows Button on keyboard. Typed 'Hyper-V Manager'. It opened the 'Hyper-V Manager'. Then I right clicked on my machine name. There was an option to 'stop'. I selected this option. It stopped the 'Hyper-V' on my machine and then Kitematic worked fine, i.e., it download the hello-world-nginx and displayed the web page.
NOTE: This is strange and I am not sure why. Once I have done above steps, now when I restarted the Hyper-V using Hyper-V Manager, Kitematic is still working and downloading images. Can anybody comment why it is now still working when Hyper-V is also running ? Thank you.
Good

The solution as suggested by #Gene is correct and works perfectly if:
One has windows pro edition
Both Hyper-V Management Tools and Hyper-V Platform are enabled
Sometime this isn't always the case; here is what to do:
Check Windows Edition:
To check which version right click on Windows key and select System.
Scroll down to Windows specifications and look at [Edition]
Check Hyper-V Platform (virtualisation)
For Hyper-V Platform to be enabled one must turn on virtualisation; normally this is done via the BIOS.
On HP laptop one this is done from the BIOS.
On start-up click Ctrl+F10
Press the right arrow key to System Configuration tab.
Select Virtualization Technology and then press the Enter key.
Select Enabled and press the Enter key.
Once these steps are done then:
Search for Turn Windows features on or off.
Scroll down to Hyper-V
Tick this box (Ensure you see a tick NOT a black box which indicates some features not enabled)
Upon restart docker should be running... good luck !!
So I've been working with android studio 2.0 beta on my Mac and AVD was working fine.
But then I notice that android studio can't launch AVD now. It says /dev/kvm not found. enable VT-x in your bios security settings, ensure that your linux distro has working kvm module.
The thing is: I didn't touch bios settings at all. Possible causes :
VMWare - I was playing with virtual machines and configuring new networks for vm's just before I noticed the error.
CleanMyMac - I also used this app to clean the system
other causes are possible, but I never entered BIOS or touched system settings
The solutions on resolving this issue I found all refer to Linux, rather than Mac. How would I fix this?
EDIT:
I reinstalled OS X (without formatting hard drive). That didn't work.
Here is the solution that worked me.
Well, Android Studio need HAXM to run emulator.
The issue is that the HAXM drivers doesn’t support the beta version of Mac Os High Serria yet.
The driver works but with a little bit of additional command.
First, you will need to disable the Security Protection on kext. The drivers is not sign for this version.
From https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/269777:
Get into Recovery Mode by restarting and holding down ⌘+R until Apple logo appears.
In the top menu click Utilities > Terminal.
In the Terminal window type and press Enter:
csrutil enable --without kext
Then restart the Mac.
Then you can install HAXM from:
Download the driver from here https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager/ and unzip it.
Open a terminal and go to the directory of the driver :
cd Downloads/haxm-macosx_v6_2_0
# edit the file and look for 10.12
nano silent_install.sh
CTRL + W
10.12
Add 10.13 after 10.12, and save the file ( CTRL+X, Y, ENTER)
Run it:
./silent_install.sh
To be sure it works:
sudo kextload -bundle-id com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
Now your emulator should work !
Just remove the previous HAXM and install IntelHAXM_6.0.3.dmg in haxm-macosx_v6_0_3.zip
here is download link haxm-macosx_v6_0_3.zip
its work for me!
/dev/kvm not found on mac.
Follow the steps. You can solve your problem.
Step1: Download Intel HAXM from software.intel.com.
Step2: Extract and Open the file name like “IntelHAXM_6.2.1.dmg”.
Step3: Double click on “IntelHAXM_6.2.1.mpkg” to Install manually.
Step4: Read and Install carefully.
Step5: When you receive Security warning for new extension goto system preferences and Click “Allow” button.
Step6: That’s it. Now you can run the emulator.
(Note : Incase you get same error again. Please Re-Install the
“IntelHAXM_6.2.1.mpkg” Once again. That’s really fix your problem.)
Happy coding... :-)
Enter your VM settings and then search for virtualization engine :
Check the virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-RVI option.
This should resolve the problem.
Your MacOS need to enable Intel VT-x
Reference:
enable Intel VT-x
When i am starting Genymotion getting error ,
Every solution on other site is provided for MAC but not for windows so please tell me how to resolve this issue on windows.
Uninstall your virtualbox and re install and don't touch anything from the virtualbox ,just launch your genymotion from android studio please check task manager as enough memory while running your Virtualbox .
I am trying to install Mac(OSX-Mavericks) using virtualbox On Windows 8.1.
Everything works fine But, when MAC Installation setup starts in virtual machine, it keep on loading and do not start the installation wizard stays on the first screen.
I have waited for a log time like 3-4 hrs but unable to figure out the problem as there is no error.
I am using a dell(Inspiron 3537).
I have installed Mac on my previous Samsung laptop successfully in the same way.
I will provide other information on demand as I'm not sure where the problem is as setup loads but not starts the installation process.
Thanks in advance
enable virtualisation on your BIOS, it may helps.
Open an administrator CMD shell and try this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_vm> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
Then close/VirtualBox and open again (to save your new settings). Boot OSX with "-v" flag.
