Genymotion unable to load VirtualBox engine on Windows 10

Question

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 BUILD 10130 and for some reasons, Genymotion doesn\'t seem to be working. It says \"Unable to load VirtualBox Engine.\"

Now i did a bit

Answer 1

Only solution that worked for me is: 1. Uninstall oracle vm virtual Box 5.0.4 and install 5.0.20(https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_0) 2. Run virtual box as administrator 3. Run Genymotion as administrator That's it.

Answer 2

None of the above solutions or any solutions in any other thread/forum worked for me.

Here's what I did to solve the issue

1. Uninstall VBox and Genymotion

2. Install Genymotion again from the website with VirtualBox (124mb for Windows) https://www.genymotion.com/#!/download

3. Restart PC

4. Try to load Genymotion, you should get the same error again

5. Open RegEdit go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Genymobile > Genymotion

6. Check for the key 'VBoxPath'. In my system this path was

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\\VBoxManage.exe

7. Edit the path to remove the double '\' It should now be :

   C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe

8. Save changes and start Genymotion!

Worked like a charm for me :)

Answer 3

I try all guide but cannot fix, so I open genymotion > preference > ADB > set sdk path to my sdk path that I am using for build my app. It worked fine.

Answer 4

To date, VirtualBox is not yet fully compatible with Windows 10. As Genymotion relies on the use of VirtualBox in the background, some problems may arise. If you have any troubles running Genymotion on Windows 10, we first recommend that you put VirtualBox in a clean state. To do so: Uninstall VirtualBox. Reboot your computer if prompted by the installer. Install the version of VirtualBox recommended for Windows 10 Reboot your computer if prompted by the installer. Open VirtualBox and go to File > Preferences > Network. Remove all existing host-only networks by clicking Description 1. Start Genymotion a first time. In the event of a failure, start Genymotion a second time. If Genymotion still doesn’t run, you can manually configure a host-only network:

Open VirtualBox and go to File > Preferences > Network. Add a new host-only network by clicking Description 1. Edit its configuration by clicking Description 1. In the Adapter tab, set the following values: IPv4 Address: 192.168.56.1 IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 In the DHCP Server tab, set the following values: Check Enable Server. Server Address: 192.168.56.100 Server Mask: 255.255.255.0 Lower Address Bound: 192.168.56.101 Upper Address Bound: 192.168.56.254
