Problem :

I am new to laravel. I recently installed laravel homestead and it was running using the powershell. But now it has stopped working completely. I had suspended the vagrant and turned off my box. Now it is only showing me below error:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
==> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

Command: ["modifyvm", "b21f2dd0-7f73-4d0f-b1e0-0f82ecdda1fe",    
"--natpf1", "delete", "ssh", "--natpf1", "delete", "tcp33060", 
"--natpf1", "delete", "tcp44300", "--natpf1", "delete", "tcp54320", 
"--natpf1", "delete", "tcp8000"]

Stderr: VBoxManage.exe: error: Code E_FAIL (0x80004005) - Unspecified   
error (extended info not available)
VBoxManage.exe: error: Context: "LockMachine(a->session,  
LockType_Write)" at line 493 of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp

Solution :

I also was facing the same issue I finally managed to fix the issue. Please find below the fix for your issue.

Firstly you need to right click on "This PC" or "My Computer" on your windows desktop

Then go to Select "Properties". After that you need to go to "Advanced" tab.There you need to click on the  "Environment Variables..." at the very bottom. Then under the System Variables you need to click on  "New". Here you need to set the  "Variable name" as "VBOX_INSTALL_PATH".Now you can set the  "Variable value" to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\".

Finally select "OK" and then close all your other settings windows

And then restart your laptop and your error will be fixed
