Genymotion is not working in Windows 10 for Android Emulator

Question

I have tried everything(reinstalled, open as administrator, etc) and it's still not opening the Android 5.x and 6.x emulator.

The error message is :

Unable to start the virtual device. The virtual device got no IP address. The VirtualBox DHCP server has not assigned an IP address to the virtual device. To find a solution, please start Virtual Box.

I have followed this tip and this but the error message keeps.

I'm using a Windows 10 Pro.

Any other tip without the need of reinstalling the Windows?

Update:

Hey man I think I caught your problem.

1) Please Open VirtualBox and and Then right click on your Virutal Machine.

2) Select Settings.

3) Open General Setting from the left panel.

4) Open the Basic tab.

5) Choose Linux from the Type option.

6) Then choose Other Linux(64-bit) in the Version Section.

I have tried the option of 32-bit mode in my PC and the same problem happens as you asked in your question. So, select 64-bit mode to make it run.

Note: Android 5.x and 6.x are based on the 64-bit architecture. If you selected the Other Linux(32-bit) option. Then Virtual Box will try to emulate a 64-bit program in a 32-bit virtual machine type, which is not possible.

So, Please make sure that you have selected the Other Linux(64-bit) option for Android Versions higher than 5.x. (You can run Android versions upto 4.x in the 32-bit mode.)

Old Answer:

No, You don't need to reinstall windows. It is not an operating system fault.

I faced this problem.

It is due to the Antivirus Program.

If you have any antivirus program then just disable it and TRY AGAIN.

You also don't need to set any compatibility mode.

Currently, I am using Genymotion(Version 2.6.0) and VirtualBox(Version 5.0.12 r104815) in Windows 10 Pro without any error.
