Possible Issue - Enable Virtualization in BIOS 

It could happen that the virtualization can be disabled.

If that is the case, you need to enable virtualization in BIOS. To do so, go to Search and type “Advanced startup” and select the first option. Then click “Restart now”. This will restart your computer.

Next, click the “Troubleshoot” option.



Then click the “Advanced options” button.



Select the “UEFI Firmware Settings” here.



This will guide you to BIOS. Here you need to find the “Virtualization VT-x” option and select “enable”. On most computers, this can be found under “Advanced” or “Security” tabs but this option differs depending on your computer. After you have enabled virtualization, save the settings and exit BIOS. Then launch VirtualBox again and the image should load without any errors.
