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 to the same error.

But I don't have "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" in properties of physical connection. A have same driver "NPCAP ..." from wireshark installation. If look at description you can see this is NDIS6 driver.

Then I remove all wireshark packages: NPCAP, WinPCAP, Wireshark and remove VirtualBox.

Restart.

Reinstall Virtual Box. Install Docker ToolBox(Uncheck install NDIS5). And Create default VM for docker.

docker-machine create -d "virtualbox" default

Host-only interface created normally

docker-machine status
Running

That works for me.
