Failed to create the host-only adapter - windows 10, docker, virtualbox

Question

I\'ve recently run into this problem after having used docker toolbox without a problem for a while.

Started happening after windows update?

Windows 10 Home - 64

Answer 1

I got the same error.

Checking Window's device manager, revealed a Virtualbox network adapter device with an exclamation mark.

The device's status stated that there was a signature problem for some reason.

I'm not encouraging anyone to ignore the warning, but I chose to do that :)

I turned off Window's signature verification using the method described in this link and I could finally use Virtualbox with a host-only adapter.

Note: this answer was duplicate. I've removed the other ones
