VirtualBox error

Hi,

I have macbook air 2018 (BigSur ver 11.3) and cannot run WIndows 8.1 on virtual machine (Virtual Box ver 6.1.22. It worked well before. I am fighting this problem over a month, maybe more. I hoped the latest actualization will help, but doesnt helped.

Error is the following:

The VM session was aborted.

Result Code:

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

Component:

SessionMachine

Interface:

ISession {c0447716-ff5a-4795-b57a-ecd5fffa18a4}

I`ve tried many of founded solutions, but nothing works for me :-(

many times reinstaled Virtual Box
tried older version of Virtual Box
disabled SIP / enabled SIP
cleared SIP (reset to factory setings)
tried to create new VM

notthing helps, allways the same error

details of VM error

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.3

I know, but it stops working after BigSur upgrade...

I tried to find the solution on the VB sites, on a lot of macblog sites but nothing works.

If is there some setting in macos which I can change, let me know please. I need windows on my Mac just beacause of one application, therefore I dont want to set the win by bootcamp up.

I hope you understand me.

Let me know what kind of apple software, insteda of bootcamp, can I use tu run this one win app, I will use it, I will buy it...

Participate in the Virtualbox forums. It is not Apple's responsibility to make VirtualBox work with Big Sur or any version of Windows. There is no reason to run SIP as the VirtualBox uninstaller located in the installation package does not require it and is sufficient to uninstall the matching version of VirtualBox.
