Cannot boot Windows guest in VirtualBox without kernel module error

I am on windows 10 and following steps works for me:

Steps:

1. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv"
2. Right click on "VBoxDrv.inf" file and select Install option

3. Open the Console as a administrator and run the following command

   sc start vboxdrv

There's something wrong with the installation of VirtualBox (I've been seeing reports of this problem as far back as 4.x). The installer registers an incorrect location for the driver SYS file (the ImagePath in this example).

PS> Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrvType         : 1Start        : 3ErrorControl : 1ImagePath    : \??\C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxDrv.sysDisplayName  : VBox Support DriverPSPath       : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrvPSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\servicesPSChildName  : vboxdrvPSDrive      : HKLMPSProvider   : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry

The file doesn't exist.

PS> Test-Path (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrv).ImagePathFalse

The actual location requires an extra drivers\vboxdrv.

PS> Test-Path 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.sys'True

You can update the registered location.

PS> Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrv -Name ImagePath -Value '\??\C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.sys'

And now you can start the driver/service.

> sc.exe start vboxdrv

Try the following code (as administrator):

 sc.exe start vboxdrv
