Home Assisant not booting aftere Oracle Virtual box update

Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out because I encountered an issue after installing the latest update for the Oracle VirtualBox manager. Since the update, my home assistant fails to start and remains in an “Aborted” state. I must admit that I’m not very familiar with VirtualBox, so I was wondering if any of you have any ideas or suggestions to resolve this problem. I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox, but the issue persists.

Here’s the error message I receive when attempting to start the VM:

VM Name: Home_Assistant

Failed to load the NVRAM store from the file (VERR_VFS_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT).

Can’t attach Nvram Storage driver (VERR_VFS_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0X80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

If anyone has encountered a similar situation or has any insights on how to troubleshoot this, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance
