Description

@tordbb

I have been in BIOS (how to access) and verified that the following are active:
Virtualization Technology (VTx)
Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VTd)

Next, I downloaded and installed Vagrant via https://www.vagrantup.com/

Then, I created the Vagrantfile in a new folder on my laptop.

This folder, I opened using powershell (tried both normal and as administrator).

There, I ran "vagrant up", and got the following error in return:

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.
