Ok, so I finally fixed the problem. Tried restarting my laptop and it's not giving me that error anymore. Here's what I did:
- Right click on "This PC" / "My Computer" on windows desktop
- Select "Properties"
- Go to "Advanced" tab
- Click "Environment Variables..." at the bottom
- Under System Variables click "New..."
- Set "Variable name" to "VBOX_INSTALL_PATH"
- Set "Variable value" to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\"
- Select "OK" and close all the other settings windows

Solution 2
I had the same problem and the previous answer didn't work for me. I opened the VirtualBox GUI and saw that the virtual machine was running. I stopped it and then I executed "vagrant up". All worked well.
Solution 3
For Mac OS, close all the running VMs and restart the virtual box using following command:
sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
Solution 4
Just enable permission for VirtualBox in Security & Privacy
Solution 5
- First of all destroy the virtual box with vagrant destroy.
- Navigate to
C:\Users\Justice
replace justice by username. - Delete the
.vagrant.d
folder. - Go into
VirtualBox
VMs folder and delete everything inside it. - Start it again with vagrant up.
It should work fine.

I just got laravel homestead to run yesterday using powershell. Now, it won't even run. I just suspended vagrant and turned off my pc. Now it's just giving me this error:
