After an ubuntu update my virtualbox could not load my windows 10 VM, everytime i tried to open it it shows me this error: vbox error

I followed many tutorials, could not get it running. Ended up re-installing ubuntu, but i still have the same issue after installing vbox.

I am worried that, there are many tutorials on how to solve it online, and i have picked some of the wrong ones, since i have not tried them all. Any ideas?

After installing vbox, if i try to install another app like lets say 'git', it succeeds, but gives me these errors:

soldy@soldy:~$ sudo apt-get install git

You should remove 6.1.10 and install 6.1.16. Take a look at this link to download latest version https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads. You are probably experiencing this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1891916
