Answer 1

The following steps from an answer on the superuser community (https://superuser.com/a/1002243) worked for me. I'm running VirtualBox 5.0.10 on Windows 10, with the Fall 2015 Windows 10 update. In my case, the problem seems to be directly associated with the Windows 10 update. (I'm using VirtualBox in conjunction with Genymotion 2.6.0, but I don't think the Genymotion version is a factor.)

1. Open Windows "Network and Sharing Center"
2. Click "Change adapter settings"
3. Right click your Virtualbox host-only adapter and select Properties
4. Enable "Virtualbox NDIS6 Bridget Networking Driver" (if it's disabled - if it's not, see next)

If the checkbox in step 4 was disabled, VirtualBox should work just fine now (no reboot needed). Otherwise repeat steps 3-4 for every network adapter you have (Ethernet, WiFi...) and always uncheck the NDIS6 checkbox -> apply -> check it again -> apply.
