genymotion "unable to load virtualbox engine" on windows 10 and Virtualbox error " Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)"

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 , Genymotion doesn't seem to be working. It says "Unable to load VirtualBox Engine."

Now i did a bit of research and all the solutions suggested to Delete the Host-only network from Virtual Box settings. Well here's the thing i don't have any networks listed there. And the one which i found on the Network and Sharing center cannot be deleted and when i try to create a new one on virtualbox , it fails .

Even a clean install hasn't solved the issue

here is the screenshot of the problem.

  • genymotion.exe -> Properties -> tab Compatibility -> In Compatibility mode, check Run this program in compatibility mode for and selected Windows 8 -> check Run this program as an administrator -> Ok

    Hope it will solve your problem.
