How to Fix 0x80004005 Error in VirtualBox. VM Session was closed before any attempt to power it on

Very helpful! thanks it helped me

I found a way to fix it.
For my case, I had saved my VM and I was getting this error while trying to start it again.
To fix it, I right clicked the VM and then selected "Discard Saved State" from the menu.
This powered off the VM and I was now able to start it without getting the error.

Did you really fix anything?
Seems like you just removed the errored vm and created a new one.

Thanks🎉

doesnt work fuck

that is the most useless solution i saw , bullshit

I'm sorry... I didn't understand. The way to fix the problem is not fixing it? You have just created another VM instance loosing all data in the old one? I'm sorry if I understand wrong...

MUITO OBRIGADO VOCE FOI O UNICO A RESOLVER O MEU PROBLEMA

It really worked. Thanks a lot

it worked for me thank you so much :)

Still didn't work for me

Si ibas a eliminar por completo mi sistema operativo haberlo dicho al inicio del video :(((((((

hahahah, 373 like, 669 dislike XD

Here is what worked for me:
1. Close VirtualBox
2. Delete the .virtualbox file in your "Users" folder as shown in this video
3. Open Recycle Bin
4. Right click the deleted .virtualbox file and hit Restore
5. Run VirtualBox as an Administrator
6. Open your virtual machines
7. Catch your breath

this way u can lose data. try run as administrator it worked for me

solution is to do the folllowing: vboxmanage internalcommands dumphdinfo "[path to your vhd/vdi]
note the UUID of uuidCreation... this comes later
vboxmanage internalcommands dumphdinfo "[path to your snapshot image "users\[login]\VirtualBox Vms\[vm name]\Snapshots\[uui of sapshot].vhd/vdi]
note UUIDParent is all zeros
next set the uuidparent to uuid creation of your virtual disk imag/vhd on the snapshot
VBoxManage.exe internalcommands sethdparentuuid [path to snapshot] {xxxx-xxx-x-xxx-xx-xxx}


uuid creation in braces after path to snapshot, again must be uuid creation from the vhd/vdi full image.

Es más fácil, simplemente clone la máquina virtual y abra la nueva máquina virtual (clonar), si sube sin problema, entonces elimine la máquina virtual anterior y listo. Esto funcionó para mí. Traducción de un comentario hecho por Ruben Herrera.

Running Oracle VM VirtualBox as a administrator worked for me

que ahcessss

One more solution - disable Hyper-V
open cmd (admin mode) and run command:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

then restart PC

Thanks for the help dude!

Does this method format the system??

It is easier, just clone the virtual machine and open the new virtual machine (clone), if it rises without problem then delete the previous virtual machine and you are done. This worked for me.

Why did you make me delete all the machines just to fix a stupid mistake!

you saved my ass. I love you

😡😡😡😡

😠😠I have to restart. my whole file got deleted😡

thnkyou so much sir😌😌

Worked for me, thanks for the video!

I tried many solutions, didn't work. But your solution worked. Thank you

This video is misleading, Ben Craige, Kishore uppala, and other in the comment are correct it a simple step just discard save state and restart that all and you're good to go
