HI I suddenly have this error when I try to open my VM.
VM was running fine, then I shut down my pc, went out for an hour or 2 and on my return started up the Host and the VM does not want to open..infact all my VM;s gives the same error.
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win10.
The virtual machine 'Win10' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
Ive been running this VM for several years at least 1 x per day.
Host is Linux mint 20.3 Cinnamon
Official Oracle Virtual box 6.1 - Version 6.1.34 r150636 (Qt5.12.
I tried attaching the log file but its size is 220kb and the attachments do not allow me to upload it
Any guide as to steps I can take to recover form this?
I have restored the host with Time shift to 2 prior backups but it has no effect on the error

I've had this exact error (1903) a number of times after upgrading macOS. It's a VBox version - system kernel mismatch breaking the vbox drivers.
As an experiment, boot with your previous kernel. Mint 20.x had a kernel update sometime in the last couple of days to 5.4.0-167, and that could have caused it. I'm not having a problem with the new kernel and VBox 6.1.38 though.
That would be the easiest thing to try without messing about with your system or reinstalling VBox with a newer version.
I got to the same conclusion,,
I restored with Time shift to a earlier backup of about a week ago, and it resolved the issue..
Not sure what will happen when I run updates again.
But at least I have my life back with the VM working again.
Thank you for your comment
