I'm using Laravel 7.x Homestead. Everything had been working fine for years, maybe until around the time I upgraded from 6.x to 7.x (though I'm not sure because I don't frequently try to reload).
Now whenever I run cd /c/code/Homestead/ && vagrant up or cd /c/code/Homestead/ && vagrant reload --provision this happens:
==> vboxHomestead: Machine booted and ready!
==> vboxHomestead: Checking for guest additions in VM...
vboxHomestead: The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of
vboxHomestead: VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can
vboxHomestead: prevent things such as shared folders from working properly. If you see
vboxHomestead: shared folder errors, please make sure the guest additions within the
vboxHomestead: virtual machine match the version of VirtualBox you have installed on
vboxHomestead: your host and reload your VM.
vboxHomestead:
vboxHomestead: Guest Additions Version: 6.0.0 r127566
vboxHomestead: VirtualBox Version: 6.1
==> vboxHomestead: Setting hostname...
==> vboxHomestead: Configuring and enabling network interfaces...

Additionally, trying to destroy the box causes a similar error:

unless and until I comment out backup: true in the Homestead.yaml. Then vagrant destroy works, and then vagrant up works, and I use the machine for a while, and eventually I run into this problem all over again later.
How can I narrow down where the problem is?
I'm using Vagrant 2.2.7, VirtualBox 6.1.4, Homestead v10.5.1, which uses box 'laravel/homestead' version '9.3.0'.
The maintainer of Homestead says:
We can't guarantee results of
vagrant reload --provisionand I generally advise against using it unless you're really comfortable with what Vagrant is doing and what your provisioners are doing.
